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 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 called Zorro.

Zorro! The one who's larger than life and defender of all. He's this man who

people acclaim.

You'd be the one who'd write back for the poor and oppressed.

A hero.

Who's in doubt?

What is this?

Your bill.

Bill?

But this is me, Sergeant Mendoza. And this is me, Victoria Escalante.

No more credit.

You Lancers are going to put me in the poorhouse.

Rita Escalante, do you have any idea what it's like to live off garrison

rations?

All right, but this is the last time.

We will be closing in for the afternoon.

Sorry.

Is anything wrong?

Everything is perfect.

Then why are you here?

Well, I've already had my lunch.

And you came just to see me?

Mm -hmm.

And for this.

Go up, Ryra.

Let's go.

Although I still have one customer left.

Excuse me while I get rid of him.

And then I'm all yours.

What an enchanting prospect.

I forgot something.

I'll be back.

Where did he go?

He left without paying his bill.

He's robbing the poor box.

No, it wasn't easy, Your Majesty.

Capturing Zorro, but... Yes.

Yes,

my people.

Oh.

Senorita, it's siesta.

Yes, and while you two are dozing, someone is robbing the mission port box.

Oh, no.

Have I done this? No, it's set.

But the poor will always be with us.

Why are you making their lives even more difficult than they already are, hmm?

He won't get away with it this time, will he?

Let us out!

Zorro! Just like a woman.

First she hollers, leave!

Then the next minute, she locks us in.

Quick! We have to get out of this office!

Zorro!

I'm so sorry.

If I would have known you were still here, I would have never sounded off in

morning. Now I guess I've ruined our whole afternoon.

No.

This thief has ruined our afternoon.

I've got to get out of here!

This time, Senor Fox, he will not evade the house.

Yacaldi apparently thinks he's going to track us to the cave.

Let's take him on a scenic tour.

Oh, my friend, I have you now.

There we were, then, Alejandro.

The mission bandit and myself, eye to eye.

His sword was just about... He didn't have a sword.

Oh. Well,

his knife.

And he didn't have a knife. And it was Zorro who stood eye to eye to him, not

you.

Details, details.

The important thing is that Ortiz is in jail.

What's important is that the mission poor box is intact. Right, sir? Well,

is true, then, Alejandro, very true.

Sergeant! No sign of him anywhere, Sergeant.

Well, that is very strange.

The alcalde was having his siesta. He left strict orders not to be disturbed.

Then he disappears.

Well, at least we can't lose him now.

I followed you every inch of the way with this.

Ah, about a mile back, you should have turned left at the big oak.

Now you're in danger.

I'm in danger?

You're the one that's running.

You're the one standing on sacred Indian burial grounds.

Indian burial grounds? So what? We have treaties with these savages.

Alcalde, heed my warning.

Leave now before it's too late.

Right back to the Pueblo.

Pass on sacred ground. You broke our law.

For which I'm exceedingly sorry.

But if your intention is to lay even a finger upon me...

You

look into the souls of our ancestors.

No, no, no. I assure you.

Not my telescope. I just bought it. No!

Well,

my lancers hear about this, I assure you.

They'll destroy your miserable little village.

I demand to see your leader at once.

This is Wise Eagle's tent.

Good.

Maybe I can talk some sense into him.

I've always had trouble with... Zorro's horse.

I did warn you, Alcalde.

So, you're in league with these savages.

No, I came to plead for your life.

Wise Eagle insists that you have broken their laws.

Tell the old fool.

Tell Wise Eagle that I happen to be an official of the king's government.

A government that does not keep its promises to our people.

True. The government is frequently guilty of injustice.

But if this man is harmed, then Spanish laws will have been broken, and many

soldiers will come to avenge him.

It will mean war.

So, our laws are not important, and the white man's laws are sacred?

He must answer for his crimes against our ancestors.

Prepare the trial by fire.

Do so.

Angry eyes, you cannot burn him.

If he is innocent, he will not feel the pain. If he is guilty, he will die.

Oh, splendid.

This is no way to decide a man's guilt or innocence.

This is our way, Zorro.

You stand on our ground, and you must face our justice.

If you call that justice, then I shall face it.

You would do that to save your enemy?

I would do it to prove there is a better way to enforce the law.

A better way to find the truth.

You may take the journey down the river of pain. If you survive...

Your Alcalde is free to go.

You'll owe me one for this.

You have the power of courage.

Let us see if you have the skill.

on the wall of death.

It's amazing what hot soup will do for an ailing man.

Mendoza, you're not ailing. You're just stalling. And if I were in your boots, I

would be out there looking for the alcalde. Who knows? He could have been

kidnapped or something.

Actually, I was just thinking about organizing a patrol.

I think I will do it now.

The wall of death is the ultimate test of a warrior.

Climb it, and you will be denied nothing.

Many men have tried to reach the top, and many men have died.

Ah!

Let her go.

Bring me my horse.

Bring me the horse!

Better do as I say.

You will pay for this, Tantandi.

Get the horse!

Of course we are.

Time for what?

To give me this saddle rope.

What for?

To save the Alcalde's miserable life.

Oh, so that's where he's at.

Hey, be careful.

That's my death's rope.

Good. This is no time for shoddy equipment.

So Advise you to let the alcalde go Sergeant Mendoza and his lances will be

shortly

He was going to kill what's there. I wasn't going to hurt the girl, I promise

you. I just refused to be roasted over an open fire like some chestnut.

Are we not men of honor?

Men of our word?

Yes. When you made the wall of death the wall of life.

Release him.

Release me!

I don't want my horse back.

Don't push your luck, Alcalde.

You can ride back to town with Sergeant Mendoza. He'll be here shortly.

Wise Eagle.

Adios.

Wait.

You forgot something.

I did?

What might that be?

This is Washdea, Wise Eagle's daughter.

You won her. She's yours.

Ah. You made the wall of death a wall

of life.

You won the hand of wise evil's only daughter.

Oh, that's very kind. It's just that I have no desire to marry.

She'll give you many children. Oh, I'm sure she will.

Then it is settled. You'll take her.

The truth is, Sam, it's an overwhelming offer.

To refuse it would be an insult to all my people.

What I'm trying to say is, my people have certain traditions.

Besides, this really shows a woman no respect.

Ah, but you must respect our traditions.

You find me unattractive?

Oh, not in the least. You're the most attractive, lovely... What am I saying?

Alcalde. What can I say?

You don't want to climb the wall of death again, do you?

I deal in the affairs of state, Zorro, not in affairs of the heart.

You're on your own.

Thanks for your support.

You see, I'm in love with the most charming woman in all of California.

excluding yourself, Senorita Walsh, dear.

But, Zorro, you are a man that deserves many wives.

You are such a hero.

I'm a reasonable man.

And you, you're a man, too. You and me, we're both men.

And Senorita Wastaya is lovely.

What I'm trying to say is, my people believe that a man and a woman should

really get to know each other very well before they become permanently attached.

This process, the process of engaging... Where's your horse, Alcaldes?

I don't know where it is. Give me your horse.
