When daggers are pointed at innocent hearts and muskets are ready to fire.

When tyrants ride high and govern with fear as the forces of evil

conspire. Then from out of the night, a hero must rise. With courage that

even a mask won't disguise.

They turn to the man.

And offender of all is this man who the people acclaim.

He's the one who strikes back for the poor and oppressed.

A hero whose name is Zorro.

His name is Zorro.

Zorro.

Z,

you've got to do a little dance of this.

Suck the dirt up. Pour it through the tube. I'm going to call it a vacuum

cleaner.

Medicinal cures.

Exotic potions from faraway lands.

Toys. Toys. Music makers.

Everything for your personal convenience. Every conceivable item from

Wayne's convenience wagon.

Senorita, you look... Like you could use something for the young homemaker. What

about the world's first mechanical bread mixer?

I happen to be a businesswoman, thank you.

Well then, the world's first patented automatic hair dryer.

Guaranteed to save you hours a night with that beautiful hair, only five

What a good idea.

All right, um...

I'll take one.

There you are. Enjoy it, enjoy it. What about you, Sergeant? Dr.

Wayne's personal private formula guaranteed to capture the heart of any

My one day only military discount, three pesos.

Not some women, Sergeant.

Any woman.

I'll take it.

Senor, you look like a man of taste and breeding.

Just the sort who might use my scientifically tested button.

Do you have anything of a military value?

Military?

Guaranteed to keep the enemy at bay and run them through at a safe distance.

Can you imagine that, Alcalde?

Indeed.

Man is nothing more than a huckster.

My good fellow, there is nothing Dr. Henry Wayne can't invent. You just tell

what you need, and I will create it for you.

You have my personal guarantee.

And what if you fail?

Then I'll give you your money back.

No, no, better than that.

I'll give you double your money back.

Then I want you to invent a way to trap Zorro.

Here you are, Sergeant.

Pardon my fingers.

Look at that!

A very clever machine.

Only 50 pesos, senor. Don Diego de la Vega.

For a caviar, Dr.

Wayne patented peeler is available for only 30 pesos.

It really is an ingenious device, the intricate gear system.

But wouldn't it be easier and more healthful to simply eat the apple with

peel?

Pushing the limits of scientific endeavor is no middling proposition.

Just look at this rotary drive and the ratchet.

As described in Archimedes' early works.

You've studied the sciences?

Why, dabble.

The Alcaldi has hired me to invent a method to eliminate Zorro.

Perhaps you'd like to help?

I'm really not the sort of man for that kind of job.

He's right, Dr. Wayne.

Just because a man is educated doesn't necessarily make him courageous.

Here.

These are the official reports of every recorded sighting of Zorro.

They will prove of great value to you in designing your trap.

This could take a week.

Perhaps I can be of assistance, Dr. Wayne.

Reading is one of my favorite pastimes.

An armchair soldier, eh, De La Vega?

Nearly offered to do my civic duty, Alcaldi.

I'll take all the help I can get.

Wise man.

Now, I want to hear all about your plan.

See how the warm air rises and lifts the silk.

And lifts.

The silk.

Well, it works for the Montgolfiers in France.

Of course, the silk needs to be larger.

More of a sphere.

That will be the esteemed Dr. Wayne.

Dr. Wayne.

I trust your plans are going well? Actually, the Alcaldi and I have been

planning a little surprise for Zorro.

Well, that sounds promising.

And has your research revealed anything of value?

Well, I think so.

From what I can tell, Zorro is somewhat predictable.

He always rides the same horse.

He carries a sword and a whip.

Well, primitive tools at best.

Absolutely.

He's obviously unaccustomed to dealing with anything of a technical nature.

My guess is that he's right under our noses.

Perhaps all we'll need is to get the Alcaldia better vantage point.

Possibly.

You know, I've been doing some reading on the Montgolfier brothers' experiment.

Lighter -than -air flights.

Absolutely revolutionary.

But it's a lot of work.

It was just a thought. Well, you see, that's the difference between us. For

science is just a hobby. For me, it's my life.

Anyone coming through that door will hit my first trip wire, firing the musket.

And what if he misses the wire? Zorro is not as clumsy as you may think. Good

question. Good question. Look at this.

on this.

And that will happen.

I have more than a dozen backup devices here.

Anybody who comes through that door is as good as dead.

What makes you think Zorro will come?

All it takes is the right bait.

Bait.

Surely you must know something that would bring him here.

I think I know just what that would be.

Mendoza, you know I don't allow rifles in my tavern.

Señorita Escalante, I apologize. It is my unpleasant duty to put you under

arrest. Under arrest?

And for what?

Consorting with the enemy bandit, Zorro.

Your feelings for him are pretty obvious.

Anything. Talk or you die.

I want his name.

Please. Please.

Don't. Don't. I don't know. I don't know.

Senorita Scalante, I will have you hung in...

Stop the video somewhere.

Keep looking.

Keep looking.

I'll report to the alcalde.

Keep checking!

Faster! Faster! Come on!

Duncan! Burl!

Duncan!

Terrific! Terrific!

All my devices work just as I planned, eh? Look at this!

We got the wrong man.

Sorrow's nowhere to be seen.

Sorrow's right out there.

He's got to be here somewhere!

A promotion inmate to the man who finds him!

The problem is that he moves too swiftly for us to follow on foot.

Help! Zorro!

Over here!

Hurry! Hurry before the alcalde finds you!

He moves quickly, but not quickly enough!

Quick, Zorro!

Hurry, Zorro!

Oh, please, Zorro, you must cut these ropes!

the Senorita again, and it is you who shall be dead.

This Zorro's a very clever fellow, isn't he?

If I could only drag him to his hiding place, I may have the way.

One more mistake from you, and they will find your bones parched in the desert.

Curse me.

Following Zorro to his lair, it's simply a matter of duplicating the Montgolfier

flight.

Of course. We knew that.

It's a big job.

But if we can find enough silk, we can track Zorro easily.

Most impressive, Dr. Wayne. All you have to do is untie those ropes and your

personal balloon will rise high above the Pueblo.

And wherever Zorro goes, I'll be able to see him.

Precisely. All you have to do is keep those sandbags, and your flight will be

perfectly controlled.

Is the firing squad ready?

Si, mi alcalde.

Wait, wait, what's the meaning of this? Wait!

What are you doing?

Alcalde, what is this?

Not the pole.

Go!

Zorro is not going to appear unless we have the proper bait.

And I doubt very much if you will fall for us arresting Senorita Escalante

again.

Proceed. Clahimo.

Alcalde, no!

Alcalde!

Alcalde, can we talk about this?

Get in, Sergeant. We are going to revolutionize the law enforcement of

pueblo.

of contract with this government office for failure to capture the bandit Zorro

as promised, Dr.

Henry Wayne is hereby sentenced to death by firing squad.

You know very well that Zorro will not stand for this.

That's exactly what I'm counting on, Senorita.

Is the prisoner ready?

Yes, Captain, but I don't think he likes it very much.

Ready your weapons!

He fell for it.

The thing is going to be to catch him now.

Oh, don't worry about it.

This thing, we can track him and run him into the ground.

I'm aboard.

You must be joking. I'm not in a league with you. When the choice is yours, you

can come with me or face the Alcalde's firing squad.

He wouldn't.

I doubt if he'll be very happy with you, my friend.

Excuse me, senorita.

But the good doctor required a bit more of an education.

My apologies, but the location of this place must remain a secret.

Secret cave. How splendid.

As a man of science, I thought you might appreciate it.

Oh, I do, I do.

Is that a laboratory I see?

Exactly.

I have great respect for scientific endeavor, Dr. Wayne.

So long as it is used for progress and not suppression.

You do have a certain inventive genius.

Do you really think so?

The only proof of it will be what good you can do with it.

Any fool can wreak havoc.

The Alcaldi?

The biggest fool of all.

I'll take you to your wagon so that you can be on your way before the Alcaldi

gets back.

But the Alcaldi's gone. He's headed out to sea.

I know.

And I doubt if Sergeant Mendoza...

It's out.

It's the ocean.

Do something.

I would if I could, Belcardo. What can I do?

You can't.

He's going to kill me! No, no, don't worry. Alcalde Soro's not that kind of a

man.
