action
1840, California: The state governor is in tough running. When a man appears who stands up for the poor and the oppressed, he quickly becomes a hero: Zorro. The governor succeeds in arresting him and throwing him into prison and killing his wife. Zorro's little son Diego is rescued and grows up with an innkeeper. He grew up with his daughter Mary for 15 years. The area's population is still suffering under the governor's regime; then a new Zorro appears. Among other things, he interrupts a bandit attack on a carriage in which the young bride of the governor is, Virginia de Santa Anna, with whom he falls in love. Zorro soon escapes a trap set by the governor with an arm wound.
In the tavern, soldiers find Zorro's clothes and arrest Diego, who has an arm injury. In prison, Diego meets Juan Ortiz, his father, who only now finds out that his son is alive. A few days later, Diego was released because Zorro carried out further actions during his stay. Juan Ortiz also manages to escape. The governor's wedding with Virginia is disrupted by Zorros' three swords - Diego, Maria, and Juan - the governor is arrested by a federal agent, and the ceremony then continues; Diego replaces the missing groom.
criticism
The lexicon of international film smugly writes, “the commercial fencing and galloping film tries to unravel the complicated family relationships by means of subtitles, and despite all the triviality, it affords some cruel exaggerations.” J. Chevallier noted in season '64 that “treatment the subject of religion would be done in the most ridiculous way possible. "
Remarks
At 21 million lire , the box office result was well below the average.
