action

An important letter from the governor is stolen by a gang of bandits; El Zorro is said to be the thief, but in fact, watch captain Don Pedro and Alkalde Don Jaimez are behind the robbery, which unite the provinces of San Juan and Santa María and thus want to form the largest in Mexico . They enforce their goals with severity and violence against the nobles, who do not find these plans so great. For the freedom-loving people, El Zorro (who lives as a womanizer Don Diego in normal life) fights, whom Don Pedro rightly suspects to be among the resistance and therefore sets a trap for him. After he started the rumor that a car with money from the citizens was being driven through the area unguarded, he had all the nobles of the provinces gathered in the house of the Alkalden; if the chariot is attacked, the missing noble would be Zorro. However, he can thwart the plan, disguised as a priest, break into the prison, where he can free some of his like-minded people and with their help confront and defeat Don Pedro and his soldiers.

criticism

Christian Keßler comments quite moodily : "This wretched production is another proof that one should not reach for the stars when only a spaceship made of roofing felt is available" and explains that the script does the not overly complicated plot so cumbersome and heavily involved in dialogue that even those involved in synchronism got mixed up. The Italian colleagues suspected that Zorro was supposed to be funny, which, given the poorness of what was found and the banality of the dialogues, failed.

Remarks

The Italian gross profit was just 56 million lire .
