action

In France-occupied Spain, all attempts to revolt against the rulers are nipped in the bud. Only in the area around Pamplona do some rebel groups, led by a mysterious masked man, succeed in launching effective actions that make life difficult for the garrison commander Colonel Brizard. A French hairdresser who lives in the area seems to have nothing to do with what happened, even when Brizard once again watches as his archenemy frees some prisoners who have been sentenced to death almost under his eyes. The commander's anger hits, as usual, the nephew of Alcaldes Don Ignazio and Don Ruiz, a Spaniard in his service, who is supposed to marry Carmen, the niece of said Alcaldes. Carmen, however, tired of all the whisperings and betrayals around her, fervently admires the defender of the country, the masked Zorro, who with his example gives some of the Spaniards across the country the courage to join the regular army in the state's struggle for freedom kick off. When these troops reach Pamplona, ​​Colonel Brizard flees with Carmen as a hostage; But Zorro can stop the escape and free Carmen. When King Ferdinand VII is back in Spain, Zorro is also able to reveal his identity and is made Count of Navarre.

criticism

The lexicon of international film saw a “conventionally designed coat and epee film in the tradition of the genre. Fast fencing and melodramatic love scenes are at best external highlights of the all too schematic adventure story. ”The Segnalazioni Cinematografiche were even less enthusiastic :“ A film that does without a single original idea and instead offers only platitudes and banal situations. ”On the other hand, it is more likely positive cinema.de: “The avenger figure from California fights passably through old Europe. - Fleet battles in bland history. "

Remarks

The gross profit in Italy was 216 million lire .
