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

Where tyrants ride high and govern with fear as the forces of evil come fire.

Then from out of the night, our hero must rise with courage that evil, a mask

won't disguise.

They turn to the man called Zorro.

Zorro! He's larger than life and the fiend of all.

He's this man who the people acclaim.

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

A hero whose name is Sorrow.

His name is Sorrow.

He's a bit embarrassed about falling off his horse.

Your poor father.

But was he hurt badly?

Well, between some broken ribs and his wounded pride, I doubt if he'd be riding

for a while.

Well, I'm sure it could have been worse.

I think his greatest regret is having to send me to Santa Paula over this place.

Santa Paula?

Isn't that where the Royal Spanish Emissary is at the moment?

Yes. I was looking forward to meeting with him to discuss the Alcaldes' new

initiative. And your father trusts you to speak on behalf of the Pueblo?

He certainly does.

And since I leave in the morning...

We'll get my things together.

Matthews. Adios.

I feel better about leaving, knowing the Alcalde is away.

He feels better about it, too.

I won't be gone long.

Take good care of my father while I'm away.

I'll be back soon.

Senorita! Good morning.

Diego, I'm going with you.

I beg your pardon?

You will need my help pleading our case to the king's emissary.

You don't say.

Diego?

Diego de la Vega?

You haven't heard a word I said?

Of course I have.

But how would it look, the two of us traveling alone together?

Think of the gossip.

Gossip? About you and me?

Don't be silly.

Hola.

Buenos dias, senors.

How far to Los Angeles?

About two miles down the road.

You come far, you look as if you've had a hard journey.

Si. Santa Paula Bridge is out.

Then it looks as if you won't be joining me after all.

I'm sure Don Alejandro would not refuse me the loan of one of his horses.

A strong -willed woman, senor.

If she were mine, I'd put her in her place.

Adios.

Felipe, take Senorita Escalante's wagon back to the tavern.

I'll saddle her horse.

Buenos dias, senor.

We finished your order.

Oh, fine, Rinaldo, fine.

Tell me, how long to fix my saddle?

We're very busy, but we'll be happy to work on it tomorrow.

Good. Put it on the alcalde's bill.

That'll be all.

Well, here we are. Santa Paula.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Yes, Diego.

It's lovely.

I hope I'm going to like this, Perez.

Oh, you will, Sergeant. I am the best cook in the entire territory.

The absolute best.

Just find them and bring them here.

Innkeeper, tequila.

Do you hear me?

I said tequila now.

Señor, excuse me.

Is there some kind of trouble here?

When I need a lazy dog, I'll whistle. I am the alcalde of this pueblo.

Let's be pleasant, eh?

Or you will be eating in this dark cave.

Oh, you're here.

Hello, Reynaldo.

Reynaldo, you know this man?

Yes, we work together.

He is a tanner?

No, he's a trapper from the Indian territory.

What? That explains it.

His lack of manners.

He was lucky you were here, Sergeant. I would have torn them apart.

There is.

There are four of them.

No problem. When it comes to a fight, Sergeant, I am the best.

The alcalde went to Monterey and left his sergeant in charge.

We picked the perfect time to rob the blind.

So when do we do it?

Tonight.

It's so beautiful here, Diego.

Why couldn't we have stayed in Santa Paula?

I promised my father I'd bring him news of the meeting right away.

I think we're riding into a storm.

See, I told you we should have taken rooms for the night in Santa Paula.

But we didn't.

There's an old abandoned windmill about a mile up that way. I think we can make

it there before the storm hits.

It's getting worse out there.

Excuse me.

Right.

Glad we brought these blankets.

you were spending the night here?

Well, a storm doesn't give us much choice.

That'll make the floor more comfortable.

And what is this?

Your side.

My side.

How very proper.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Neither would I.

You were very impressive today.

Was I? Oh, thank you.

Although speech -making is very different from action, isn't it?

Why don't you ever do anything?

I do lots of things.

Read.

Play the piano.

Write poetry.

I know all about those things. But isn't there something you want above

everything else?

Something that you must have?

Yes.

Sleep.

I must have sleep.

The fire reminds me when my mother used to read me poems and adventure stories

about love and courage.

Love has no rhyme and no reason.

It strikes with a passionate fire, engulfing the hearts in flame.

And only your cool, sweet lips will quench my burning desire.

Diego, something happened today.

Something that I've never noticed before.

When you stood up to the king's emissary.

There was something about you.

Well, you seem different somehow.

Thank you Diego.

Good night.

See? Your saddle is ready, Alcalde.

Oh, it's beautiful, Reynaldo. What a pleasant surprise.

Indeed it is, Alcalde.

What is this?

A robbery.

Now.

Alcalde, let's take a look at the safe.

Shall we?

We're not playing games here.

It's going to be a long night for all of us.

Especially for you, Alcalde, if you don't cooperate.

I can't.

My patience is wearing thin. Tell us the combination to the safe.

Now!

Don't force me to turn Chato loose on you.

Diego, I can go alone from here.

You should go and see your father.

Yes, I should.

I'm glad you came along.

I will see you at the tavern later.

Sergeant, it's been a long night.

Now, for the last time, tell us the combination to the safe, or I'll let

kill you.

Señor, if I don't tell you, you will kill me.

If I tell you the alcalde will kill me when he comes back, what is the

difference?

The difference is I'd enjoy killing you.

I can't.

Finish him now, Chato.

No, wait, please.

I will tell you.

A wise choice, alcalde. Get the saddlebags.

The combination is 16, 1,

51, 0,

2...

Thanks

for... For the gold, Alcalde.

Enjoy your saddle.

for him

What is it, boy?

You miss me?

What's wrong?

the rocks. Be careful.

Get back that saddlebag.

Go here, my friend.

Cut him off.

You'll pay for this, my little friend.

On the contrary, amigo.

It is you who will pay.

It's Zorro.

He's worth more than all the money in those saddlebags.

Get him.

I am going to slice you into little pieces.

I'm not ham, senor.

You plan to capture Zorro, senors?

You can't do it lying down.

Coming?

Don't worry, Sergeant. I'll think of something.

Don't you have any confidence in your men? What is the alcalde going to say?

What is that?

Madre de Dios!

It's Zorro!

Good afternoon, Sergeant.

Please accept these prisoners as a gift from me.

Zorro.

I think you'll find what you're looking for in the leader's saddlebags.

Senor Zorro.

Adios. Will you ever be able to stay?

Your smile almost quenches my burning desire.
