action
The cynical adventurer Zack robs the old westerner Alfaro and his daughter Gladys. A treasure map falls into his hands, which shows the location of an old Indian treasure. Zorro, who is active in preventing jewel theft and who in normal life is the inconspicuous David Sandoval, constantly throws obstacles in the way of Zack and his men on the way to the treasure. In addition to the robbed, Miss Cooper, who is commissioned by the Pinkerton detective company to reveal the identity of Zorro, is also interested in the treasure. Because of the desecration of the sacred reasons, an Indian revolt threatens, which Zorro can avert by preventing Zack's plans and convincing Alfaro and Gladys - with whom he has fallen in love - to keep their hands on them as well. Miss Cooper can track down the real Zorro, but through clever tactics she convinces David Sandoval that she is mistaken.
criticism
"An adventure film whose story is unimaginative and whose technical execution is inadequate," said the Segnalazioni Cinematografiche .
Remarks
