All language subtitles for The Sign of Zorro (Signé Zorro) ENG (1958) (Guy Williams)_track3_und.ass

and you're watching "Treasures
from the Disney Vault,"

which I'm hosting here at
the lavish El Capitan Theatre

in Hollywood.

This historic movie palace
was lovingly restored

by the Disney Company
more than 20 years ago.

Walt Disney enjoyed enormous
success in the 1950s

by taking
his Davy Crockett TV shows

and releasing them
as theatrical feature films,

so when his Zorro series
became a hit,

he hoped lightning
would strike again.

What you're about to see

is a feature called
"The Sign of Zorro,"

which was cobbled together
from several episodes

of the half-hour
black-and-white TV series.

Its strength
lies in its cast --

Guy Williams in the dual role

of Don Diego and the masked hero
known as Zorro,

Henry Calvin
as Sergeant Garcia,

and Gene Sheldon as Diego's
mute confidant, Bernardo.

The storyline
may be a bit lumpy at times,

but the actors'
winning personalities,

and the swordplay
that made "Zorro" a sensation,

are all intact.

Here, as it played in theaters
in 1959, is "The Sign of Zorro."

? OUT OF THE NIGHT
WHEN THE FULL MOON IS BRIGHT ?

? COMES A HORSEMAN
KNOWN AS ZORRO ?

? THIS BOLD RENEGADE

? CARVES A "Z" WITH HIS BLADE

? A "Z" THAT STANDS FOR ZORRO

HEY-AH!

WELL DONE,
SE�OR DE LA VEGA.

I SHALL MISS
THESE DAILY BOUTS.

I TOO, SIR.

THEY HAVE MADE THE LONG VOYAGE
MOST ENJOYABLE.

YOUR AGILITY
WITH A SWORD, SIR,

SHOULD SERVE YOU WELL
IN CALIFORNIA.

WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AWAY?

THREE YEARS.

I AM AFRAID YOU ARE GOING TO
FIND CONDITIONS

QUITE CHANGED
WHEN YOU REACH LOS ANGELES.

HAVEN'T YOU FINISHED
PACKING YET?

WE'LL BE GOING ASHORE SOON.

YES, CALIFORNIA
IS BEAUTIFUL.

WHERE DID YOU PUT
MY FATHER'S LETTERS?

I WANT TO READ
THE LAST ONE AGAIN.

"MY DEAR SON,
IT IS WITH A HEAVY HEART

"THAT I ASK YOU TO GIVE UP
YOUR STUDIES AND COME HOME.

"CERTAIN MATTERS HAVE ARISEN

WHICH I CAN NO LONGER FACE
ALONE."

YOU KNOW HOW PUZZLED
I HAVE BEEN?

WELL, NOW I KNOW
WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO TELL US.

WE'RE HEADING FOR TROUBLE,
BERNARDO.

NO, NOT INDIANS--
POL�TICOS.

I HAVE JUST LEARNED OUR PUEBLO
IS UNDER A DICTATOR.

WE'RE CERTAIN TO BE SEARCHED
ON ARRIVAL.

BURN THIS.

NO ONE MUST SUSPECT THAT MY
FATHER HAS SUMMONED ME HOME.

WE MUST FIND A WAY TO DEAL
WITH THIS TYRANT.

AH, THE DIRECT APPROACH?

NO, BERNARDO. WHEN DEALING
WITH A POWERFUL ENEMY,

WE MUST PLAY ANOTHER GAME.

YOU KNOW THE OLD PROVERB--

WHEN YOU CANNOT CLOTHE YOURSELF
IN THE SKIN OF A LION,

PUT ON THAT OF THE FOX.

UST CONVINCE THE COMANDANTE
THAT I AM HARMLESS.

BUT HOW?

AH-- AN EXCELLENT IDEA!

INSTEAD OF A MAN OF ACTION,

I SHALL BECOME
A MAN OF LETTERS--

AN INNOCENT SCHOLAR INTERESTED
ONLY IN ARTS AND SCIENCES.

HA HA!

[ SIGHS ]

HMM.

WELL, AS FOR THESE
FENCING MEDALS AND TROPHIES...

THEY ARE NO LONGER
PART OF MY LIFE.

THROW THEM OVERBOARD.

NO, BERNARDO.
GET RID OF THEM.

HERE-- THIS TOO.
GO.

BERNARDO, THIS IS NO TIME
FOR SENTIMENT.

THROW THEM OUT!

[ WATER SPLASHES ]

NOW, GET ME
MY FANCIEST JACKET--

THE ONE WITH THE GOLD BRAID--
AND MY WALKING STICK.

IT SHALL BE PART
OF MY NEW CHARACTER.

YOU ALSO--

YOU ALSO WANT TO BE
SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT.

VERY WELL,
YOU SHALL PLAY THE FOOL.

HA HA HA HA!

YOU WANT TO PRETEND
YOU CANNOT HEAR--

EVEN BETTER!

YOU SHALL BE THE EYES
AND EARS BEHIND MY BACK.

FROM NOW ON,
YOU NOT ONLY CANNOT SPEAK,

YOU HEAR NOTHING.
BRAVO, BERNARDO!

HERO,
WHY ARE WE STOPPING HERE?

ALL VEHICLES
PASSING THROUGH LOS ANGELES

T BE INSPECTED, PATR�N.

BUT THIS IS AN IMPOSITION.

WE HAVE ALREADY GONE
THROUGH CUSTOMS!

ALL BAGGAGE TO BE OPENED!

PASSENGERS HAVE
THEIR IDENTITY PAPERS READY.

DON DIEGO DE LA VEGA!

I THOUGHT YOU WERE STILL
IN SPAIN.

OBVIOUSLY I HAVE RETURNED,
SERGEANT.

UH, WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE
ABOUT ANOTHER INSPECTION?

FOR YOU, DON DIEGO,
A MERE FORMALITY.

OH, THEN MY LUGGAGE DOES NOT
HAVE TO BE OPENED AGAIN.

GIVE ME, PLEASE,
BUT CAPIT�N

HE ALLOWS NO EXCEPTIONS.

UH,
HE THE NEW COMANDANTE?

FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.

PLEASE, SE�OR,
HE MAKES THE ORDERS.

I ONLY CARRY THEM OUT.

VERY WELL, THEN, SERGEANT.
GET ON WITH IT.

WHAT IS THIS?

M INSTRUCTING MY MOZO
TO REMOVE THE LUGGAGE.

HE IS DEAF AND DUMB?

SINCE CHILDHOOD.

WOULD YOU MIND
HELPING MY MANSERVANT

WITH THE LUGGAGE, PLEASE?

I DON'T LIKE IT.

WHY HAS THE SON RETURNED
SO UNEXPECTEDLY?

T DIFFERENCE
DOES IT MAKE, LICENCIADO?

THE DE LA VEGAS
ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT FAMILY

IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

DO YOU THINK DON ALEJANDRO
CALLED HIM BACK?

EVEN IF HE DID, THERE IS
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

IF HE IS A TROUBLEMAKER,

I SHALL HANDLE HIM
AS I DID ALL THE OTHERS.

NOTHING SHALL STOP ME
FROM BEING THE RICHEST MAN

IN ALL OF CALIFORNIA.

OUT OF THE WAY--
CLEAR THE STREET!

SERGEANT GARCIA, THAT IS
MY NEIGHBOR, NACHO TORRES.

WHY IS HE BEING BROUGHT IN?

I�N SABE, DON DIEGO?

COMANDANTE
ORDERED HIS ARREST.

ONE MOMENT!

WHY HAVE YOU TAKEN THIS MAN
PRISONER?

P ME, SE�OR ALCALDE.
I AM INNOCENT.

WHAT ARE THE CHARGES
AGAINST YOU, DON NACHO?

THEY ACCUSE ME OF TREASON,
BUT IT IS A LIE.

I DARED TO SPEAK OUT
AGAINST INJUSTICE.

IT IS FORBIDDEN TO SPEAK
TO THIS PRISONER.

TAKE HIM INSIDE
AND LOCK HIM UP.

ARE YOU DIEGO DE LA VEGA?

YOUR SERVICE, COMANDANTE.

IT�N
ENRIQUE SANCHES MONASTARIO.

SORRY TO INCONVENIENCE YOU.

NOT AT ALL, COMANDANTE.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

IT GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY
TO FINISH THIS LAST CHAPTER--

"THE EFFECTS
OF MOORISH CULTURE

ON SPANISH POETRY."
HAVE YOU READ IT?

NO, I HAVE NOT.

OH, THEN I MUST LEND IT
TO YOU WHEN I FINISH.

THANK YOU.
SOME OTHER TIME.

WOULD YOU PLEASE
MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE

IN MY QUARTERS?

I SHALL NOT DETAIN YOU LONG.

[ CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY ]

DID HE SAY
WHY HE HAS RETURNED?

I SHALL FIND OUT.

BUT WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR

FROM THAT FASTIDIOUS
SE�ORITO.

GET BACK TO THE INN.
WE SHOULD NOT BE SEEN TOGETHER.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE?

YOU-- COME DOWN HERE.
I'LL TEACH YOU TO SPY ON ME!

COME DOWN, I SAY--

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
SPEAK.

IT�N,RDON.

HE CANNOT ANSWER YOU.
HE IS DEAF AND DUMB.

WHO IS HE?

DON DIEGO'S SERVANT.
HE BROUGHT HIM FROM SPAIN.

GET ON WITH THE INSPECTION,
SERGEANT.

AAAAH!

RY ON, SARGENTO.

I KNOW YOU ARE ANXIOUS
TO BE ON YOUR WAY HOME.

YES, IT'S BEEN
A MOST FATIGUING DAY.

PLEASE FILL OUT
THIS BRIEF DECLARATION,

IF YOU DON'T MIND.

YOUR RETURN IS RATHER
UNEXPECTED, IS IT NOT?

YOUR FATHER
GAVE THE IMPRESSION

THAT YOU WOULD BE AT
THE UNIVERSITY ANOTHER YEAR.

WELL, I DECIDED TO FORGO IT.

THERE WAS AN OVEREMPHASIS
ON GYMNASTICS,

SWORDSMANSHIP...

THERE WERE EVEN DUELS
AMONG SOME OF THE STUDENTS.

REALLY?
YES.

OOH--
HOW THIS TOLEDO BLADE SINGS!

A THOUSAND PARDONS,
DON DIEGO.

YOUR FATHER
WOULD NEVER FORGIVE ME

IF ANYTHING
HAPPENED TO YOU.

WELCOME HOME, DON DIEGO.

JUAN, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

IS THIS PEPITO?
HOW IS MY FATHER?

HAVE YOU TAKEN
GOOD CARE OF HIM?

WE HAVE TRIED, DON DIEGO.

JUAN, THIS IS BERNARDO.

HE CANNOT SPEAK NOR HEAR,

BUT HE WOULD DIE FOR ME
IF NECESSARY.

SHOW HIM WHERE MY ROOM IS.

PATR�N.

FATHER.

MY SON.

IT FILLS MY HEART
TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

I SEND A BOY TO SPAIN,

AND A MAN RETURNS.

I HAVE THINGS TO TELL YOU,

BUT THEY CAN WAIT
UNTIL YOU HAVE CHANGED

AND WE HAVE HAD SUPPER.

COME. YOUR OLD ROOM
IS WAITING FOR YOU.

THE VAQUEROS
USED TO SING THIS

AS THEY RODE HOME FROM WORK.

YOU KNOW,
THIS PIANO NEEDS TUNING.

ARE YOU NOT INTERESTED

IN WHAT
I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU?

EXTREMELY SO, FATHER.

I'M SORRY TO FIND
THE SITUATION SO UNPLEASANT.

UNPLEASANT?!

IT IS INTOLERABLE!

THE RANCHEROS ARE BEING TAXED
OUT OF EXISTENCE.

THOSE WHO CANNOT PAY ARE FLOGGED
AND THROWN INTO PRISON.

THE INDIANS ARE TORN
FROM THEIR FAMILIES

AND FORCED INTO SLAVE LABOR,

ALL FOR THE BENEFIT
OF ONE MAN--

IT�NARIO.

I HAVE MET THE GENTLEMAN.

GENTLEMAN?!

HA! HE IS
A BLACKHEARTED SCOUNDREL.

IF HE REMAINS IN POWER,
OUR COUNTRY FACES RUIN.

WE MUST GET RID OF HIM.

THAT'S WHY
I HAVE CALLED YOU HOME.

SOMEONE MUST DO SOMETHING!

YOU'RE RIGHT, FATHER.

I AM GOING TO SIT DOWN

AND WRITE A DETAILED
LETTER OF COMPLAINT

TO THE GOVERNOR.

IT WOULD NEVER REACH HIM.

MONASTARIO'S GUARDS INTERCEPT
ALL MAIL INTO MONTEREY.

OUR NEIGHBOR, NACHO TORRES,
DARED TO PROTEST,

AND THIS MORNING
HE WAS ARRESTED FOR TREASON.

HAVE YOU APPEALED
TO THE CIVIL AUTHORITIES?

WE HAVE RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW.

MONASTARIO IS THE LAW!

HE BROUGHT IN A CROOKED LAWYER

TO MAKE HIS CRIMES
APPEAR LEGAL.

THEN I FAIL TO SEE
WHAT WE CAN DO.

WE CAN FIGHT HIM!

CALM YOURSELF, FATHER.

THE USE OF FORCE
SHOULD BE OUR LAST RESORT.

I HARDLY EXPECTED
SUCH-- SUCH DISCRETION

FROM A SON OF MINE.

YOU ARE TIRED, MY BOY.

GO TO YOUR ROOM
AND SLEEP ON IT.

WE SHALL DISCUSS IT
TOMORROW.

WITH YOUR PERMISSION.

BERNARDO,
I'VE JUST HAD TO DO

SOMETHING
I'M NOT VERY PROUD OF.

I'VE CONVINCED MY FATHER
THAT I'M A SPINELESS WEAKLING.

BUT IF I WERE TO TAKE
OPEN ACTION,

AS HE WANTS TO DO,
HIS LIFE WOULD BE IN DANGER.

NOW I'M FREE TO ACT ALONE.

YOU REMEMBER
WHAT I SAID THIS MORNING--

"IF YOU CANNOT CLOTHE YOURSELF
IN THE SKIN OF A LION,

PUT ON THAT OF THE FOX."

WELL, FROM NOW ON,
I SHALL BE ZORRO-- THE FOX.

I BROUGHT YOU OUT HERE
TO MEET A THIRD MEMBER--

AN ALLY.

[ WHISTLES ]

[ NEIGHS ]

[ WHISTLES ]

HIS NAME IS TORNADO.

AN OLD SHEPHERD
HAS BEEN KEEPING HIM FOR ME.

HE WAS A COLT WHEN I LEFT.

[ TORNADO NEIGHS ]

TORNADO.

CARROT.

HERE, I HAVE A CARROT
FOR YOU.

HERE, BOY-- THERE.

IT'S BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME.

HEY, HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN
THE TRICKS I TAUGHT YOU?

OH? YOU THINK YOU CAN KNEEL?

COME ON.

LET'S SEE
IF YOU CAN KNEEL.

KNEEL, TORNADO, KNEEL.

KNEEL. KNEEL.

HA HA HA!

GOOD BOY.

AH, THAT'S A HORSE, EH?

WELL, BERNARDO, OUR SECOND
MISSION IS ACCOMPLISHED.

EVEN MY FATHER WOULDN'T
RECOGNIZE THIS HORSE.

TORNADO, YOU AND I ARE GOING
FOR A LONG RIDE TONIGHT.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

YOU WENT TO TOWN TODAY.

SOMEONE WAS HANGED?

SOMEONE IS GOING
TO BE HANGED.

NACHO TORRES.

IN ALL CALIFORNIA, BERNARDO,

THERE IS NO GREATER PATRIOT
THAN NACHO TORRES.

H A MAN HANGED FOR TREASON
BY A RUTHLESS COMANDANTE--

NO, BERNARDO, IT CANNOT BE.

THIS SHALL BE THE DISGUISE
OF EL ZORRO, THE FOX.

I WILL NOT GO OUT THAT WAY.

THESE OLD HACIENDAS
HAVE MANY SECRETS, BERNARDO.

I WILL SHOW YOU ONE I DISCOVERED
BY ACCIDENT MANY YEARS AGO.

COME.

LIGHT THE OTHER LANTERN,
BERNARDO.

THIS WILL BE OUR FORTRESS,
GUARDING ALL OF OUR SECRETS.

OVER THERE YOU WILL FIND
A STAIRCASE

LEADING DOWN TO A SECRET CAVE
WHERE I'VE HIDDEN TORNADO.

IT WILL BE HIS HOME.

WE ARE NOW READY
FOR THE FIRST ASSIGNMENT

OF EL ZORRO--
TO RESCUE NACHO TORRES.

AFTER THAT,
WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO

ABOUT RIDDING LOS ANGELES

THE TREACHEROUS CAPIT�N
MONASTARIO.

YOU CAN WAIT IN MY ROOM.

�S.

[ TORNADO WHINNIES ]

[ NEIGHS ]

10:00 ON A WARM,
SILENT NIGHT!

ALL IS WELL!

SERGEANT GARCIA!

YOUR ORDERS, MI CAPIT�N.

BAR THE GATE
AND DISMISS THE GUARD.

LEAVE ONE PATROL SADDLED.

AFTER FINAL INSPECTION,
REPORT TO ME.

Y GOOD, SE�OR COMANDANTE.

BAR THE GATE!

HOW LONG MUST WE WAIT?

HALF AN HOUR OR SO.
THEN EVERYONE WILL BE ASLEEP.

SUPPOSE
SOMETHING GOES WRONG?

YOU ARE MORE OF AN OLD WOMAN
THAN YOU ARE A LAWYER.

WHAT CAN GO WRONG?
AND STOP PACING ABOUT.

YOU WILL MAKE ME NERVOUS!

BETTER STILL,
WAIT IN MY QUARTERS

UNTIL THE SERGEANT REPORTS,
AND DON'T WORRY!

ALL PRESENT
AND ACCOUNTED FOR,

CAPIT�N.

IS THE, UH,
PRISONER TORRES SECURE?

HE IS A DANGEROUS MAN,
SERGEANT--

FULL OF MUCH CUNNING.

I MYSELF HAVE JUST
EXAMINED HIS CELL.

CELENTE!

I WILL MENTION YOU
IN THIS REPORT, GARCIA.

CIAS,OMANDANTE.

YOU MAY GO TO BED NOW,
SERGEANT,

AND LEAVE YOUR KEYS
ON THE DESK.

CIAS, CAPIT�N!

Se�or Torres.

Who are you?

A friend.
I've come to help you.

How can you help me?
I am chained like an animal.

Who has the keys?

Sergeant Garcia.

THEN I WILL RELIEVE HIM
OF THEM.

IN A LITTLE WHILE,
YOU WILL RELEASE THE PRISONER.

WON'T HE SUSPECT SOMETHING?

YOU ARE A LAWYER.

TELL HIM
YOU REVIEWED HIS CASE

AND THERE HAS BEEN
A MISTAKE.

WHEN HE CROSSES THE COURTYARD,
GIVE THE ALARM.

I WILL BE WAITING RIGHT HERE.

IT IS ALREADY IN MY REPORT--

"FUGITIVE SHOT
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ESCAPE."

? LA LA
LA-LA-LA-LA-LA LAAAAA ?

? LA-LA LA-LA LA--

[ GRUNTS ]

? LA-L--

THE SLIGHTEST SOUND
WILL BE YOUR LAST.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

THE KEYS TO THE CELL DOOR
AND THE PRISONER'S CHAINS.

COMANDANTE

I JUST GAVE THEM TO HIM.

GET UP.
GO TO THE CORNER.

AAH!

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
KILL ME, ARE YOU?!

NOT UNLESS YOU MOVE.

I'LL BE STANDING
RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU, SE�OR
TORRES.

I HAVE COME TO SET YOU FREE.

WHY ARE YOU RELEASING
ME NOW?

YOU ARE THE LAWYER WHO
SIGNED THE ACCUSATION PAPERS.

I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED
THAT THE CHARGES WERE FALSE.

NK YOU, LICENCIADO.

YOU HAVE MOST KINDLY SOLVED
THE PROBLEM FOR US.

I ADVISE YOU
TO MAKE NO OUTCRY.

SE�OR TORRES,
I DO NOT TRUST THIS LAWYER.

CHAIN HIM TO THE BARS.

Now I suggest we take
our leave over the wall.

There's a horse by the tree.

Se�or, who are you?

A FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE--
EL ZORRO.

[ GUNSHOT ]

ESCAPE WHILE YOU CAN!

SERGEANT GARCIA!

GARCIA!

YEAH!

SERGEANT GARCIA!

AH-- AAH!

HA HA!

BEAUTIFUL COUP� TO THE WALL.

MUST SHOW ME THAT
AGAIN, COMANDANTE.

NOW, WILL YOU PLEASE GET
INSIDE THE CELL?

CERS, TO ARMS!
OUR COMANDANTE

HA!

AH!

AH HA HA!

WHO IS THAT MASKED DEMON?

I DON'T KNOW.
HE CALLS HIMSELF EL ZORRO.

ZORRO? THE FOX!

[ GRUNTING ]

HEY!

HA HA HA HA!

CIA, �IDIOTA!

PICK UP YOUR SWORD AND FIGHT!

NO, NO, SE�OR.

LANCERS! GUARDS!

PLEASE, SE�OR, NO, NO!

FIGHT!

AAAAH!

DO NOT LET HIM GET AWAY!

AFTER HIM!

TO YOUR HORSES, STUPID ONES!

THEY MUST NOT ESCAPE!

TO HORSE! TO HORSE!

AFTER THEM!

OPEN THE GATE-- AAAAH!

GO TO THE GOVERNOR.

HE WILL SEE
THAT JUSTICE IS UPHELD.

I DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE,
SE�OR ZORRO,

BUT I OWE YOU MY LIFE.

I WILL NEVER FORGET.

[ NEIGHS ]

WHAT DOES IT SAY?

"UNTIL SUCH TIME
AS THE TRAITOR NACHO TORRES

"SURRENDERS HIMSELF
OR IS CAPTURED,

"THE MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY
WILL BE HELD AS HOSTAGE

"AND HIS LANDS
AND HIS HOLDINGS

"WILL REMAIN IN THE CUSTODY
OF ENRIQUE MONASTARIO,

ANDANTE
DE PUEBLO LOS ANGELES."

AND THIS SAYS,

"FOR THE CAPTURE
OF THE BANDIT ZORRO,

1,000 PESOS.

FOR THE CAPTURE
OF THE BANDIT NACHO TORRES,

500 PESOS.

Garcia:
GUARD, OPEN THE GATE!

HURRY!
GET THE CART INSIDE! HURRY!

OH, HURRY!

STOP! FOOLS!

IS THAT ANY WAY
TO TREAT LADIES?

A BOX-- HURRY!

A THOUSAND PARDONS,
SE�ORA TORRES,

AND TO YOU,
TOO, SE�ORITA ELENA.

THE SWINE THEY SEND ME
TO MAKE SOLDIERS OF,

THEY HAVE THE MANNERS
OF-- OF PIGS.

PLEASE, LADIES.

LOOK WORRIED
ABOUT SOMETHING, LICENCIADO.

I MUST PREPARE MYSELF FOR
SOME LEGAL ADVICE, NO DOUBT.

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH,
I ADVISE YOU TO LISTEN.

WE TELL THE PEOPLE
WE ARE ON THEIR SIDE

AGAINST THE LANDOWNERS.

IF WE THROW TORRES IN JAIL,
THAT'S ONE THING.

BUT TO DRAG HIS WIFE
AND DAUGHTER

THROUGH THE STREETS
IN A CART AND LOCK THEM UP

INTO ONE OF THOSE
STINKING CELLS IS ANOTHER.

THOSE PEOPLE MAY BE PEONS,
BUT THEY'RE STILL CALIFORNIANS

WITH A DEEP RESPECT
FOR CALIFORNIA WOMANHOOD.

HAVE YOU HEARD
THE WAY THEY'RE SHOUTING?

CALM YOURSELF.
YOUR FEARS ARE GROUNDLESS.

GROUNDLESS?

OF COURSE!

THE TOWNSPEOPLE--
LET THEM SCREAM.

THE LOUDER THEY SCREAM,
THE BETTER IT SUITS MY PURPOSE.

THE ONLY PERSON
I'M WORRIED ABOUT IS ZORRO.

HE IS THE ONLY ONE
WHO COULD RUIN MY PLANS.

EXACTLY.

AND YOU'RE GIVING HIM
AMMUNITION TO USE AGAINST US.

MY FRIEND AND
WORTHY LEGAL CONSPIRATOR,

LET US SAY
I AM FORCING HIS HAND.

BAIT-- THE TORRES WOMEN
ARE IN JAIL.

LET THEIR CRIES FOR MERCY
BE HEARD

M ONE END
OF THE PUEBLO DE LOS ANGELES

TO THE OTHER.

THE LOUDER THEY SCREAM,

THE SOONER ZORRO MUST RIDE
TO SAVE THEM.

WHEN HE DOES,
I WILL BE READY FOR HIM.

MAY I PROPOUND A QUESTION
FOR THE SE�ORES?

WE KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING

TO TWO KIND AND GENTLE
SPANISH WOMEN

WHO HAVE BEEN OUR FRIENDS
AND NEIGHBORS.

WHAT DO WE PROPOSE TO DO?

WHAT WOULD DON ALEJANDRO
SUGGEST?

I SUGGEST THE ONLY
HONORABLE THING WE CAN DO.

LET US GO DEMAND THE RELEASE

OF THOSE TWO GENTLEWOMEN
HERE AND NOW.

LET US BACK THE DEMAND
WITH FORCE IF NECESSARY!

ONE MOMENT, FATHER.

T FORCE DO YOU HAVE AGAINST
THE BULWARK OF THE CUARTEL

AND THE SOLDIERS MANNING IT?

WHEN THE GAUNTLET
IS FLUNG INTO YOUR FACE,

YOU DO NOT STOP
TO APPRAISE YOUR WEAPONS.

YOU WILL BE MARCHING
TO YOUR DEATHS!

SOMETIMES IT IS BETTER
TO DIE LIKE A MAN

THAN TO LIVE LIKE A COWARD.

NOW, LISTEN TO ME--

I AGREE WITH DON ALEJANDRO.
THE TIME HAS COME FOR ACTION.

THE TIME FOR TALK IS PAST.

BUT I ALSO AGREE
WITH DON DIEGO.

OF WHAT USE IS IT TO GO

CHOP AT THE GATES
OF THE CUARTEL

TO MARCH LIKE LAMBS
TO THE SLAUGHTER?

LET US FORMULATE A PLAN.

LET US USE WISDOM
AS WELL AS COURAGE.

IT IS NOT SO EASY

TO GET WITHIN THE GATES
OF THE CUARTEL

THAT THE COMANDANTE
HAS CLOSED THEM.

NOR IS IT SO DIFFICULT.

I WAS ADMITTED JUST TODAY.

S�.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING
OF A PLAN.

MAYBE THEY WILL OPEN THE GATES
ONCE MORE FOR DON ALEJANDRO.

I WAS STANDING AT THE WINDOW

I HEARD THEM
PLOT IT ALL, CAPIT�N.

I HEARD EVERY WORD OF IT.

STUPID FOOL!

WHY DID YOU NOT REMAIN THERE

TO BE SURE YOU HAD THE NAMES
OF ALL WHO ATTENDED?

THERE WERE TWO
YOU DID NOT RECOGNIZE?

I DARED NOT EXPOSE MYSELF.

AH, VERY WELL,
IT IS NO CONSEQUENCE.

I WILL HAVE A TRAP ALL SET
FOR THEM WHEN THEY ARRIVE.

SERGEANT GARCIA!

, CAPIT�N.

SOUND THE ALARM.

PARE FOR A SURPRISE ATTACK
ON THE CUARTEL.

IT�N,T BE
OUT OF ORDER

TO ASK WHO IS GOING TO
ATTACK US?

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
DO AS YOU ARE TOLD!

COMANDANTE.

FATHER, I IMPLORE YOU,

PLEASE, DO NOT DO
SUCH A FOOLISH THING.

I CANNOT STAND HERE
AND DEBATE WITH YOU.

THEY ARE DEPENDING UPON ME

OPEN THE GATES
OF THE CUARTEL.

DO YOU RIDE WITH ME,
OR DO I RIDE ALONE?

BUT WON'T YOU LISTEN
TO REASON?

YOU'RE NOT ONLY GOING
TO YOUR OWN DEATH,

BUT THOSE WHO RIDE WITH YOU
WILL DIE, TOO.

DO YOU CHOOSE
TO REMAIN HERE?

FOR A FEW MINUTES TONIGHT,

I ALMOST FELT
WHAT IT IS LIKE

FOR A FATHER TO BE PROUD
OF HIS SON.

AAAAH!

WELL, SERGEANT,

ARE THE MEN
ALL PROPERLY HIDDEN?

CAPIT�N,
I-I-I THINK SO.

I DID NOT ASK
WHAT YOU THINK.

DO YOU NOT KNOW?

L, NO, COMANDANTE.

I-I HAVE LOOKED.
I-I CANNOT SEE THEM.

DID YOU SEE ME JUST NOW?

WOULD THEY BE WELL HIDDEN
IF YOU COULD SEE THEM?

WITH MY OWN EYES,
I HAVE NOT SEEN THEM.

GOOD.

SEE THAT THEY REMAIN
WELL HIDDEN

UNTIL AFTER THE DONS
HAVE RUSHED INSIDE THE GATES

AND THE GATES
HAVE BEEN CLOSED BEHIND THEM.

DO THEY UNDERSTAND THIS?

S�, COMANDANTE, S�.

THERE WAS ALWAYS ONE FOOL
WHO MOVES TOO SOON,

BETRAYS THE PLOT
BEFORE THE PROPER TIME.

TELL THEM I WILL HAVE
THAT MAN'S EARS.

NO, COMANDANTE.

I-I HAVE TAKEN
A SPECIAL PRECAUTION.

I HAVE INSTRUCTED EACH MAN

NOT TO MOVE UNTIL ALL
THE OTHERS HAVE MOVED FIRST.

GOOD!

OHHHH!

I KNOW IT IS LATE,

I MUST SEE
THE COMANDANTE.

IT IS URGENT.

[ SHOUTING ]

GO BACK!
IT'S AN AMBUSH! GO BACK!

GO BACK! GO BACK!

IT'S AN AMBUSH!

LANCERS, ATTACK!

OVER THE WALL-- QUICKLY!

[ CLANGING ]

Monastario:
AFTER HIM! AFTER HIM!

YOU'RE LETTING HIM GET AWAY!

LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING!

AFTER HIM, YOU FOOLS.
CAPTURE HIM! AFTER HIM!

COMANDANTE.

SHOOT, YOU FOOL-- SHOOT!

[ GUNSHOT ]

SHOOT!

[ GUNSHOT ]

Garcia:
TO HORSE, LANCERS!

MOUNT UP, LANCERS,
AND FOLLOW ME!

HE MUST BE HIDING

SOMEWHERE IN THE ROCKS
BEHIND US.

FOLLOW ME!

STRANGE--

SO STRANGE.

IT IS ALMOST AS...
IF I HAD KNOWN YOU.

YOU SEEM SO MUCH...
LIKE SOMEONE I KNOW.

I AM A FOOLISH OLD MAN
WITH FOOLISH DREAMS.

SO OFTEN HAVE I DREAMED
THAT MY SON

WOULD COME BACK FROM SPAIN,

AND HE WOULD BE LIKE YOU.

NOW THAT YOU ARE SO CLOSE,

IT IS
SO MUCH LIKE MY DREAMS.

I FEEL ALMOST

THAT I COULD PULL ASIDE
THE MASK,

AND THERE WOULD BE THE FACE
OF MY SON, DIEGO.

I WOULD NOT PULL AWAY
THE MASK.

I WOULD NOT HAVE
THE COURAGE.

AN OLD MAN MUST CLING
TO HIS DREAMS

AS DESPERATELY
AS HE CLINGS TO LIFE.

YOU WILL HAVE
MANY YEARS LEFT, MY FATHER,

TO LIVE AND DREAM.

THANK YOU.

IT-- IT IS A BAD WOUND, SE�OR
ZORRO?

THE BULLET
IS STILL IN THERE.

I DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS
TO REMOVE IT.

I WILL GET WORD
TO YOUR SON, DIEGO.

HE WILL COME
AND TAKE CARE OF YOU.

NO, NO, NO.
NO, DON'T MOVE.

IT WOULD ONLY AGGRAVATE
THE WOUND.

K, COMANDANTE!

THAT IS THE JACKET
DON ALEJANDRO WAS WEARING

WHEN HE ESCAPED.

-
THERE IS BLOOD ON IT.

THEY CANNOT HAVE GOTTEN FAR
ON FOOT

WITH THE OLD MAN WOUNDED.

[ PANTING ]

MONASTARIO--

I MUST DESTROY HIM...

BEFORE HE DESTROYS US.

MY FATHER'S BEEN WOUNDED.

GET WHAT MEDICATIONS YOU CAN

AND THE IMPLEMENTS
TO REMOVE THE SHOT.

HE'LL BE ALL RIGHT
IF HE GETS THE CARE HE NEEDS.

I WILL SNEAK OUT OF THE CAVE

AND DRAW THE LANCERS
AWAY FROM HERE.

GO QUICKLY!

IT IS HIM!

MANDANTE!
�SE�OR

HA HA! LOOK AT HIM.

THERE IS THE PIG

THAT TRIED TO RAISE
THE RANCHEROS AGAINST ME.

HERE, GIVE ME THAT.

LET NO ONE INTERFERE.

THIS IS MY SPORT.

HA!

HA HA! SO THERE IS STILL
FIGHT IN YOU,

IS THERE, WILD BOAR?

I WILL GIVE YOU SOME SPORT.

HA!

HA HA!

MONASTARIO!

ZORRO!

YOU WANT SOME SPORT?
I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU!

GOOD.
THROW HIM A LANCE.

HA!

HA!

HA!

[ LAUGHTER ]

AFTER HIM, YOU FOOLS--
AFTER HIM!

WAIT, ZORRO, WAIT!

THESE ARE NOT
MONASTARIO'S MEN?

NO, SE�OR ZORRO.

THIS IS SERGEANT ESPINOSA,
UNDER ORDERS FROM THE GOVERNOR.

HE HAS GUARANTEED MY SAFETY.

THEN YOU'LL BE GOOD ENOUGH

TO LOOK AFTER
SE�OR DE LA VEGA.

HE'S BEEN SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.

OF COURSE, SE�OR ZORRO.

YOU ARE ZORRO, THE OUTLAW?

HE IS MY FRIEND.

HE SAVED ME FROM MONASTARIO.

AND THAT IS MY GOOD FRIEND,
DON ALEJANDRO DE LA VEGA.

GOOD WORK, SERGEANT.

M CAPIT�N

ANDANTE DEL PUEBLO
DE LOS ANGELES.

I WILL TAKE CHARGE
OF ALL THREE PRISONERS.

SE�OR TORRES IS UNDER
THE PROTECTION OF THE GOVERNOR.

IF HE CHOOSES TO GIVE
SAFE CONDUCT TO THIS GENTLEMAN,

WE WILL GUARD HIM.

DO YOU, A MERE SERGEANT,
DEFY MY ORDERS?

I AM MERELY OBEYING ORDERS.

IT IS GOOD TO FIND SOMEONE
WHO CAN OBEY ORDERS.

PERHAPS, AT LAST, JUSTICE
HAS COME TO CALIFORNIA.

DOES THE GOVERNOR
ALSO PROTECT

THE OUTLAW ZORRO?

FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD,

SE�OR ZORRO
DOES NOT NEED PROTECTION.

MY ORDERS ARE TO PROVIDE
AN ESCORT, NOT CHASE OUTLAWS.

WHAT YOU DO WITH HIM
IS YOUR BUSINESS.

YOUR SERVICE, COMANDANTE.

LANCERS, FOLLOW ME!

AFTER HIM!

, COMANDANTE?

HE JUMPED IT, YOU CAN.

I THINK I CAN,

BUT MY HORSE-- HE CANNOT.

[ CLUCKING ]

STUPID! CAN'T YOU EVEN CATCH
A CHICKEN?

VISIT AS LONG AS YOU LIKE,
DON DIEGO.

IT IS SURPRISING TO FIND YOU

IN SUCH GOOD SPIRITS,
FATHER.

WHY SHOULD I NOT BE?

MONASTARIO COULD NOT HAVE
TREATED US BETTER.

AND THE DOCTOR HAS MADE ME
ALMOST WELL AGAIN.

WE HAVE BEEN SERVED
THE FINEST OF FOODS,

AND I'VE HAD A PLEASANT VISIT
WITH MY FRIEND, NACHO.

AND MY WIFE AND MY DAUGHTER
HAVE BEEN RELEASED

WITH THE EXPLANATION

THAT THEY WERE MERELY HELD
AS HOSTAGES UNTIL MY RETURN.

I WILL JOIN THEM
AFTER THE TRIAL.

I AM WORRIED
ABOUT THAT TRIAL.

YOU KNOW WHAT JUSTICE
YOU CAN EXPECT FROM MONASTARIO.

YOU HAVE NO CAUSE
FOR WORRY, MY SON.

DIEGO, WHEN I SURRENDERED
MYSELF TO THE GOVERNOR,

I TOLD HIM THE TRUTH.

HE SENT ME BACK UNDER ARREST
WITH ORDERS TO MONASTARIO

THAT I WAS TO BE TRIED
ON THE 14th,

WHICH IS TOMORROW.

I KNOW.

BUT WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW

IS THAT THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE
OF MONTEREY

WILL PRESIDE AT THE TRIAL...

WHO IS AN HONEST
AND RESPECTABLE GENTLEMAN--

THE PERSONAL ENVOY
OF THE GOVERNOR.

AND WITH JUDGE VASCA
PRESIDING,

COMANDANTE'S
FALSE CHARGES WILL MELT AWAY.

IT WOULD NOT SURPRISE ME
IF, AS A RESULT,

IT�NARIO FOUND
HIMSELF IN OFFICIAL DISFAVOR.

Monastario:
IMMEDIATELY, GARCIA!

CAPIT�N.

HERE.

FOR A MAN
FACING OFFICIAL DISFAVOR,

IT�NARIO
DOES NOT APPEAR TOO UNEASY.

AH. HA HA HA HA!

DO WE DARE?
THE GOVERNOR GAVE THE ORDER.

THERE WERE TWO COMMUNICATIONS--

ONE, AN ORDER TO TRY TORRES
ON THE 14th,

THE OTHER, A NOTICE
THAT JUDGE VASCA

WOULD ARRIVE ON THE 14th
AND TO COOPERATE FULLY.

BUT THE CHIEF JUDGE
MUST PRESIDE AT A TRIAL

IF HE IS IN THE AREA.

EXACTLY. BUT JUDGE VASCA
WILL NOT BE IN THE AREA.

AND BY THE TIME HE ARRIVES,
THE TRIAL WILL HAVE CONCLUDED

AND THE BODIES OF TORRES
AND ALEJANDRO DE LA VEGA

WILL BE EVIDENCE
THAT JUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE.

BUT WILL SERGEANT GARCIA BE
A PARTY TO SUCH A THING?

GARCIA KNOWS NOTHING.

YOU HEARD WHAT I TOLD HIM--
THAT WE NEED MORE TIME

TO PREPARE A WELCOME
FOR JUDGE VASCA,

AND TO DELAY HIM UNTIL NOON.

WILL HE NOT PUT TOGETHER

THE TRIAL
AND DELAYING THE JUDGE?

AH! SERGEANT GARCIA
COULD NOT PUT TOGETHER

TWO PIECES OF BREAD
TO MAKE A SANDWICH.

WELL, SERGEANT--

OFF IN PURSUIT
OF ZORRO AGAIN, EH?

NOT THIS TIME, DON DIEGO.
I'M GOING TO SAN FERNANDO

TO BRING JUDGE VASCA BACK
FOR THE TRIAL.

WHY DOES THE TRIAL BEGIN
SO EARLY?

MONASTARIO'S ORDERS.

BUT JUDGE VASCA IS NOT HERE.

PLEASE, SE�OR ALCALDE--

IT IS NOT PERMITTED
TO TALK TO THE PRISONERS.

INSIDE!

SOLENTE!

OUR PRISONERS HAVE ARRIVED.

IT IS TIME TO BEGIN.

NOW, BE AS BRIEF
AS POSSIBLE.

SILENCE!

STAND UP FOR JUDGE PI�A.

LICENCIADO
IS NOT A JUDGE!

ORDER!

IN THE ABSENCE
OF JUDGE VASCA,

LET THE RECORD SHOW
THAT MAGISTRATE PI�A PRESIDED

THE CASE OF
THE CROWN vs IGNACIO TORRES

ALEJANDRO DE LA VEGA.
THE CHARGE IS TREASON.

I PROTEST THIS ACTION!

YOU CANNOT BEGIN
UNTIL JUDGE VASCA ARRIVES!

LET THE RECORD ALSO STATE

THAT, SHOULD JUDGE VASCA ARRIVE
AT ANY TIME DURING THIS TRIAL,

I WILL GLADLY PERMIT HIM
TO TAKE MY PLACE.

PROCEED WITH THE EVIDENCE.

LEARNED JUDGE,

COMANDANTE DEL PUEBLO
DE LOS ANGELES,

I ACCUSE IGNACIO TORRES
OF HIGH TREASON

AND ALEJANDRO DE LA VEGA OF
CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE CROWN...

[ SPECTATORS MURMURING ]

Pi�a: ORDER! BE QUIET!

...AND, WITH THE AID
OF ALEJANDRO DE LA VEGA,

ESCAPED CAPTURE.

THAT IS IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE.

IN THE NAME OF HIS MAJESTY,
THE KING,

I DEMAND THE DEATH PENALTY
FOR THESE TRAITORS!

[ ALL SHOUTING ]

ORDER! BE QUIET!

HAVE THE PRISONERS ANYTHING
TO SAY IN THEIR DEFENSE?

WHAT GOOD WOULD IT DO?
THIS NOT A COURTROOM.

THIS IS
AN EXECUTION CHAMBER!

ORDER! ORDER! BE QUIET!

THERE BEING
NO FURTHER EVIDENCE,

I WILL CONSIDER A VERDICT.

This is the sword of Se�orita
Justice at your back.

She awaits your verdict.

WELL, WHAT IS YOUR VERDICT?

THE--

THE VERDICT--

IT IS--

IS...

NOT GUILTY.

WHAT?

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

NOT GUILTY.

MAY I TELL YOU
HOW DIVINE YOU ARE?

YOU ARE MOST KIND.

PERHAPS
YOU WOULD DO ME THE HONOR

OF HAVING A GLASS OF WINE
WITH ME.

IS THIS MAN ANNOYING YOU?

NO. HE HAS MERELY INVITED ME
TO HAVE A DRINK.

SE�ORITA FUENTES
IS OCCUPIED TONIGHT.

WHAT IS HE TO YOU?

NOTHING.

THE SE�ORITA PREFERS
TO JOIN MY PARTY.

KEEP OUT OF THIS.

I DO NOT WISH
TO PROVOKE A SCANDAL,

BUT THE LADY MADE IT CLEAR

THAT SHE DOES NOT WANT
YOUR COMPANY.

AND I DO NOT WANT YOURS.

SHALL I STOP THE FIGHT?

NOT YET.
THIS MAY BE INTERESTING.

BUT THE STRANGER IS
TOO EXPERT A SWORDSMAN.

THIS IS AN AFFAIR
OF HONOR, SERGEANT.

LET THEM GO.

AAAAAH!

HE HAS KILLED HIM!

E THIS MAN
TO THE CUARTEL

AND LOCK HIM UP IMMEDIATELY!

ONCE, COMANDANTE.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

COME IN.

LET NO ONE DISTURB US,
SERGEANT.

COMANDANTE.

LAST NIGHT
YOU PROMISED ME FREEDOM

IN EXCHANGE FOR A FAVOR.
WHAT IS THE FAVOR?

YOU ARE A DARING, IMPETUOUS
MAN, QUICK WITH THE BLADE--

TOO QUICK, I MIGHT ADD,
FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

I HAD TO DEFEND MY HONOR.

NATURALLY,
AND THE LADY IN QUESTION

IS MOST ATTRACTIVE, THOUGH
I FEAR SOMEWHAT FICKLE.

E TO THE POINT, CAPIT�N.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

YOU HAVE HEARD
OF THE MYSTERIOUS OUTLAW

WHO CALLS HIMSELF ZORRO?

THE CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE.

HIS FAME HAS SPREAD
EVEN TO MONTEREY.

HE IS A BLACKGUARD.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU PUT HIM
IN YOUR FILTHY CELL

INSTEAD OF ME--
OR CAN'T YOU CATCH HIM?

I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO CATCH HIM YET

BECAUSE THE PEOPLE
ARE PROTECTING HIM.

THEY REGARD THIS SCOUNDREL
AS THEIR FRIEND.

WHEN IN REALITY IT IS YOU
WHO ARE THEIR FRIEND, EH?

EXACTLY.

TONIGHT I AM GIVING
A DINNER AT THE TAVERN--

NOT ONLY
FOR THE LARGE LANDOWNERS,

BUT A FEW RANCHEROS AS WELL.

YOU WILL APPEAR--

WITHOUT INVITATION,
OF COURSE--

AS THE MASKED BANDIT ZORRO.

DOES THIS APPEAL TO YOU?

ANYTHING APPEALS TO ME
THAT WILL GET ME OUT OF HERE.

EXCELLENT.

COME INTO MY QUARTERS,
PLEASE.

I HAVE A COPY
OF THE DISGUISE ZORRO WEARS.

I SHOULD LIKE YOU
TO PUT IT ON--

THE CLOAK...

NOW THE HAT.

IS IT BECOMING?

QUITE DASHING.

AND NOW THE MASK.

HARDLY THE MATERIAL
I WOULD CHOOSE FOR MYSELF.

IT IS BETTER
THAN PRISON GARB.

HOW DO I LOOK?

THE RESEMBLANCE
IS EXTRAORDINARY.

YES, YOU WILL DO VERY WELL.

JUST WHAT WILL I DO?

YOU WILL ROB MY GUESTS--
EVEN THE POOR ONES--

AND MAKE IT A POINT
TO MISTREAT THE SERVANTS.

A BLOW WITH THE FLAT
OF MY SWORD, PERHAPS,

OR SHALL I CUT OFF
AN EAR OR TWO?

ANYTHING THAT PLEASES YOU.

WE MUST DISCREDIT ZORRO
WITH ALL CLASSES.

THEY WILL CEASE TO PROTECT HIM,
AND I WILL CAPTURE HIM.

AFTER I HAVE THOROUGHLY PROVED
WHAT A MONSTER ZORRO IS,

I AM ALLOWED TO ESCAPE?

YOU WILL VANISH IN THE NIGHT.

SOUNDS VERY SIMPLE.

IT IS SIMPLE.
MY GUESTS WILL BE UNARMED,

AND SERGEANT GARCIA WILL BE
STATIONED AT THE FRONT DOOR

TO SEE THAT
YOU ARE NOT INTERRUPTED.

SUPPOSE ONE OF YOUR GUESTS
OBJECTS TO BEING ROBBED?

THEN YOU WILL, OF COURSE,
DEFEND YOUR HONOR.

I BOW TO A TRUE FRIEND
OF THE PEOPLE.

[ POUNDING TABLE ]

ORABLE ALCALDE,
CABALLEROS,

IT IS INDEED GRATIFYING THAT
NOT ONE PERSON FAILED TO ACCEPT

MY HUMBLE INVITATION.

ALL OF OUR LEADING FAMILIES
ARE REPRESENTED HERE TONIGHT.

DON ALEJANDRO DE LA VEGA WAS,
UNFORTUNATELY, UNABLE TO ATTEND

BECAUSE OF ILLNESS,

BUT HE SENT HIS SON
IN HIS PLACE.

YOU HAVE, PERHAPS, WONDERED

WHY I HAVE INVITED YOU HERE
TONIGHT TO BE MY GUESTS.

THE PURPOSE IS TO PROMOTE
A FEELING OF HARMONY

AND MUTUAL RESPECT
IN OUR COMMUNITY.

ING THE YEAR
THAT I HAVE BEEN COMANDANTE,

SEVERAL REGRETTABLE
MISUNDERSTANDINGS

HAVE TAKEN PLACE.

SOME OF YOU MAY FEEL
THAT I HAVE BEEN OVERZEALOUS

IN THE ADMINISTRATION
OF MY OFFICE.

LET ME ASSURE YOU
WITH MY HAND ON MY HEART

THAT I HAVE ONLY DONE MY DUTY
FOR THE GLORY OF SPAIN

AND IN DEVOTED SERVICE
TO OUR NOBLE MONARCH.

ALLEROS,
I PROPOSE A TOAST--

TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING!

TO THE KING!
TO THE KING!

AND NOW THAT, UH,
WE HAVE SEALED OUR FRIENDSHIP,

DRINK AND BE MERRY.

ON WITH THE ENTERTAINMENT!

[ PLAYING FLAMENCO MUSIC ]

AAAAH!

EVERYONE LINE UP OVER THERE.
MOVE-- QUICKLY!

YOU TOO!

INNKEEPER, OVER HERE.

PICK IT UP,
YOU CLUMSY LOUT!

NOW, COLLECT
THEIR VALUABLES.

Y-YES.

NEVER MIND THE MUSICIANS.
THEY NEVER HAVE MONEY.

OH, I-I'M SORRY,
DON DIEGO.

NO VIOLENCE, PLEASE,
SE�OR ZORRO.

YOU ARE MAKING A MISTAKE.
I'M A POOR MAN.

WITHOUT YOUR LIFE'S BLOOD,
YOU WOULD BE MUCH POORER.

[ BLADE SLASHES ]

GET ME MY CLOTHES.

THERE'S A MAN IN THERE
IMPERSONATING ZORRO,

AND HE'S ROBBING
THE PEOPLE.

DO NOT TAKE MY JEWELRY.
IT BELONGED TO MY MOTHER.

WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE
YOUR PRETTY THROAT CUT?

NALLA!

[ CHUCKLES EVILLY ]

I THOUGHT
YOU WERE ALREADY INSIDE.

HURRY UP!

I'LL HOLD THE LADDER
FOR YOU.

I'LL BE IN FRONT
WHEN YOU ESCAPE.

PUT IT IN MY SASH.

STAND BACK.
HE'S MINE!

You fool! What did you
come back for?

Fight me,
and make it look good.

You're overdoing it!

[ GASPS ]

ZORRO!

AAH!

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

LOOK!

THERE ARE TWO ZORROS!

WHICH ONE IS OURS?

I KNOW THE REAL ONE.

DON'T INTERFERE.

HE IS MINE!

�S, IMPOSTOR.

THIS IS NOT ZORRO!

THIS THE STRANGER
THAT KILLED ROMERO.

THIS IS THE MAN
WHO TOOK OUR MONEY.

YES, AND HERE IT IS.

Pilar: BUT HOW DID HE GET
OUT OF JAIL?

WELL, UH...SERGEANT GARCIA,
EXPLAIN YOURSELF!

, CAPIT�N,RY WELL THAT YOU--

SILENCE! NOT ANOTHER WORD!

TAKE THIS PRISONER
BACK TO HIS CELL,

AND SEE THAT HE
DOES NOT ESCAPE THIS TIME!

COMANDANTE.

UP, PRISONER!

MARCH!

OR ALCALDE,
HERE IS YOUR WATCH.

MUCHAS GRACIAS.

HERE IS YOUR JEWELRY,
SE�ORITA.

OH, AND THIS RING
BELONGS TO DON DIEGO.

DON DIEGO?

DON DIEGO, WHERE ARE YOU?

HERE I AM.

I SAW NO REASON
IN ALLOWING THAT BANDIT

TO GET AWAY WITH EVERYTHING.

DON DIEGO, HERE IS YOUR RING
AND YOUR PURSE.

THANK YOU.

I THINK
I'D BETTER BE LEAVING.

COMANDANTE, A DELIGHTFUL EVENING.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME
FOR LEAVING SO EARLY, I--

WELL, I JUST HAVEN'T BEEN
MYSELF ALL EVENING.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

AH, MY GUITAR STRINGS.

SOMEONE DIED? WHO?

ZORRO THE SECOND?

MARTINEZ, THE MAN
WHO IMPERSONATED ME--

HE DIED? HOW?

GARCIA SHOT HIM
ESCAPING JAIL?

THAT'S VERY STRANGE,
BERNARDO.

MARTINEZ WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
IN A MILITARY JAIL

AT PRECISELY THE SAME TIME
HE WAS DRESSED AS ZORRO

AND ROBBING US.

IT WOULD BE INTERESTING
TO KNOW

HOW HE COULD GET OUT OF
HIS CELL IN ORDER TO DO THIS.

YES, MONASTARIO
COULD HAVE LET MARTINEZ OUT

IN AN ATTEMPT
TO DISCREDIT ZORRO.

AND WHEN THIS FAILED,
HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN RID OF HIM

BEFORE ANYONE
COULD QUESTION HIM.

AND IF THAT IS THE CASE,
MY FRIEND,

IT IS COLD-BLOODED MURDER.

IT IS TOO MUCH OF A CHANCE.
I DO NOT LIKE IT.

I DO NOT MUCH CARE.
BESIDES, WHAT CAN GO WRONG?

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN
AT THE GRAVEYARD.

THE SOLDIERS
DROPPED THE COFFIN!

IT NEARLY BURST OPEN.

BUT IT DID NOT.

I DIED A THOUSAND DEATHS.

HOW COULD ONE EXPLAIN
A COFFIN FILLED WITH ROCKS?

HAVE YOU FINISHED QUAKING
IN YOUR BOOTS?

WE'VE A LONG RIDE AHEAD.

I AM READY, BUT NO GOOD
WILL COME OF THIS.

HOW CAN YOU TRUST MARTINEZ?

O NOT TRUST ANYONE,
LICENCIADO--

BUT I KNOW
YOU WILL DO MY BIDDING

BECAUSE WITHOUT ME,
YOU ARE NOTHING!

MARTINEZ WILL OBEY ME, TOO,
BECAUSE WITHOUT MY HELP,

HE CAN NEVER HOPE TO ESCAPE
THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY.

JUST THE SAME,
I AM AFRAID OF HIM.

HE HAS TOO QUICK A TONGUE,
TOO QUICK A TEMPER.

HE KNOWS THAT EVERY
COMANDANTE

HAS ORDERS TO ARREST HIM
ON SIGHT.

HE NEEDS US EVEN MORE
THAN WE NEED HIM.

COME.

LA!

ARE THINGS WELL WITH YOU,
MARTINEZ?

I SEE YOU HAVE MADE
YOURSELF COMFORTABLE.

S TIME YOU EVEN BRING ME
A BLACK HORSE, EH, �CAPIT�N?

YOU THINK OF EVERYTHING--
ALMOST.

WHAT ABOUT THE REAL ZORRO?

WILL NOT INTERFERE.
LICENCIADO,

WHEN WE RETURN,
YOU WILL RIDE THE ROAN.

Ride to the Mission
of San Gabriel

and steal the crown of the
Virgin next to the main altar.

You will have a fortune,

and the people will be
up in arms against Zorro.

I have never robbed
a church.

Nor have you been hanged
by the neck.

Which would you prefer?

When you have the crown,
come back here and wait.

On Friday, there will be
a ship in San Pedro.

I will get you
onto that ship.

And you have filed
the report of my death?

No one will try
to track me down?

It is part of my plan.
Everyone believes you are dead.

Zorro will never
be able to prove

that he did not commit
the crime.

How can you be sure Zorro
will not interfere again?

I have not told a soul
about the details.

There is no way Zorro
can spoil my plans...

this time.

"...WITH THE FIRE
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, OH, LORD,

"THAT WE MAY SERVE THEE
WITH A CHASTE BODY

AND WITH A CLEAN HEART
WHICH IS PLEASING TO THEE."

[ BLADE SLASHES ]

ZORRO!
DON'T TAKE THE CROWN!

HER FELIPE! �SOCORRO!

HELP!

HELP!

YOU OVERHEARD MY FATHER
TALKING WITH PADRE FELIPE.

YES, I AM SURE THAT
MONASTARIO'S BEHIND ALL THIS,

BUT I DO NOT THINK

HE WOULD TAKE SUCH CHANCES,
PERSONALLY.

YES, BUT WHOM DID HE HIRE?

LISTEN, BERNARDO...

UNLESS WE CAN FIND THIS MAN
AND EXPOSE MONASTARIO,

ZORRO WILL NEVER DARE
TO RIDE AGAIN.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIND
A COIN ON THE FLOOR?

DOES NOT EVERY MAN
IMMEDIATELY INSPECT HIS PURSE?

SO IF SOME JEWELS ARE FOUND,

WILL NOT THE GUILTY MAN
BE TEMPTED TO CHECK,

JUST TO MAKE SURE
THAT HIS ARE ALL RIGHT?

YES, MONASTARIO IS DESPERATE.

MAYBE THIS TIME
HE'S GONE TOO FAR.

THIS IS OUR CHANCE

TO BE RID OF THIS TYRANT
ONCE AND FOR ALL.

OH, THESE--
I PICKED THEM UP IN SPAIN.

THEY ARE CERTAINLY NOT THE BEST
IMITATIONS IN THE WORLD,

BUT THEY WILL SERVE
OUR PURPOSE.

[ FLAMENCO MUSIC PLAYING ]

I SIT WITH YOU,
LICENCIADO?

IT IS SO DIFFICULT
TO FIND A GOOD TABLE HERE.

IT IS MY PLEASURE,
SE�OR DE LA VEGA.

I HAVE SEEN
THIS DANCER BEFORE.

SHE IS QUITE ATTRACTIVE.

SHE CALLS HERSELF
PILAR FUENTES.

BUT I MUST WARN YOU
THAT ONE MAN

HAS ALREADY LOST HIS LIFE
IN A DUEL OVER HER.

I SHALL MAKE SURE TO ADMIRE
HER ONLY FROM A DISTANCE.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

DON'T TRY TO HOLD OUT
ON ME! I SAW YOU.

TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF ME!

HERE, HERE, HERE! STOP THIS!

STA!
WHAT IS THE TROUBLE HERE?

SHE IS TRYING TO KEEP
SOME OF THE COINS.

I SAW HER!
IT'S NOT A COIN.

AND I FOUND IT!
IT'S MINE!

HERE, NOW!
OPEN YOUR HAND!

OPEN IT,
OR I'LL OPEN IT FOR YOU!

TO NI�O DE ATOCHA!

IT'S A RUBY!
LOOK AT IT!

IT MUST BE WORTH A FORTUNE!

WHO WOULD TOSS A RUBY
TO A DANCER?

SOME MEN LOSE ALL SENSE OF
VALUES AFTER A FEW DRINKS.

YOU KNOW, IT'S PROBABLY
ONE OF THE STONES

STOLEN FROM THE MISSION.

BUT WHAT A FOOLISH THING
TO DO--

UNLESS, OF COURSE, HE, UH...

WANTED TO GET RID OF THEM.

I ORDER YOU
ANOTHER DRINK, LICENCIADO?

NO. N-NO, THANKS.
I THINK I SHOULD GO NOW.

LOOK!

WHY, IT'S A DIAMOND!

HEY!

OH, THERE IS NO DOUBT
AT ALL!

THESE MUST BE SOME OF THE GEMS
STOLEN FROM THE MISSION!

ZORRO,
THE MAN WHO TOOK THEM,

COULD BE
SOMEBODY IN THIS ROOM!

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, SE�OR,

I JUST REMEMBERED
I FORGOT SOMETHING.

FIRST THE RUBY,
AND THEN I LOOKED DOWN,

AND I SAW THE DIAMOND
ON THE WENCH'S TRAY!

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT.

I TOLD YOU
NOT TO TRUST MARTINEZ!

OBVIOUSLY HE HAS NOT
FOLLOWED MY INSTRUCTIONS,

AND THIS HE WILL REGRET!

YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ME?

THIS PART OF THE PLAN
YOU DID NOT EXPLAIN.

YOU COME TO MURDER ME
AND TAKE THE GEMS FOR YOURSELF.

I AM SURE
THAT MAN IS MARTINEZ.

NO, BERNARDO,
HE IS VERY MUCH ALIVE!

IF I DID NOT VALUE
MY OWN LIFE SO HIGHLY,

I WOULD TAKE TIME
TO RELIEVE YOU OF YOURS.

I MAKE YOU A GIFT OF IT.

I CANNOT ALLOW MARTINEZ
TO ESCAPE,

N THOUGH THE COMANDANTE
IS A WITNESS. WAIT HERE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE,
DE LA VEGA?

APPARENTLY,
I AM SEEING A GHOST.

DO NOT TRY AND STOP HIM.
HE WILL KILL YOU!

THAT'S THE MAN WHO ROBBED
THE MISSION DRESSED AS ZORRO.

I KNOW MY DUTY!

OUT OF MY WAY
OR I'LL CUT YOU DOWN!

I'M GOING TO SEE THIS THROUGH!

IF YOU WANT TO SURRENDER,
GIVE ME YOUR WEAPON.

MY HAT.

YOU ARE ABOUT TO LOSE
YOUR LIFE!

YOU ARE THE LUCKIEST
SWORDSMAN ALIVE.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MAN SO
AWKWARD WHO LIVED SO LONG.

AWKWARD?!

YOU SEE, SE�OR,
LUCK IS NOT ENOUGH.

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO
KILL HIM?

HE WAS
A DANGEROUS CRIMINAL.

PERHAPS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
EMBARRASSING

TO HAVE HAD HIM CAPTURED
AND QUESTIONED, EH?

WHY, IT'S THE CROWN
OF JEWELS!

SOMETHING WRONG?

ON, NO! NOTHING IS WRONG!

I SHALL RETURN THIS
TO PADRE FELIPE.

AND YOU WILL EXPLAIN

THAT IT WAS NOT ZORRO
WHO DID THIS.

NATURALLY.

THE PEOPLE WILL OWE
A DEBT OF GRATITUDE

THEIR COMANDANTE.

UH, JUST ONE MOMENT.

WOULD YOU PERMIT ME
ONE QUESTION?

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR MARTINEZ
TO HAVE ROBBED THE MISSION

WHEN YOU ALREADY
OFFICIALLY BURIED HIM?

IT WAS SERGEANT GARCIA
WHO MADE OUT THAT REPORT.

I WILL SEE THAT
HE IS PROPERLY DISCIPLINED.

AH--

AND NOW
PERMIT ME ONE QUESTION.

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE

THAT THE MOST INEPT SWORDSMAN
IN ALL OF CALIFORNIA

WAS ABLE TO DEFEAT MARTINEZ,
ONE OF THE BEST?

WELL, PERHAPS
SE�OR MARTINEZ WAS RIGHT

WHEN HE SAID I AM
THE LUCKIEST SWORDSMAN ALIVE.

[ HORSE WHINNIES ]

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

ENTER.

DIEGO DE LA VEGA,
AS ORDERED, COMANDANTE.

THE COMANDANTE

THE SERGEANT COULD ARREST ME
AT A MORE...CONVENIENT TIME.

SERGEANT, CLOSE THE DOOR.

WITH ME OUTSIDE?
WITH YOU INSIDE.

WHAT I HAVE TO SAY
IS OF GREAT INTEREST.

RYTHING
THE COMANDANTE

IS OF GREAT INTEREST.

SIT DOWN.

I HAVE HERE A LIST
OF ZORRO'S OFFENSES.

S A RATHER LONG LIST,
COMANDANTE.

I THINK YOU MUST HAVE BEEN
WORKING NIGHTS.

ONE VERY INTERESTING FACT
HAS OCCURRED TO ME

ABOUT THIS LIST,
DE LA VEGA--

WHENEVER ZORRO STRUCK,
YOU WERE ALWAYS CLOSE AT HAND,

YET WHENEVER
ZORRO ACTUALLY APPEARED,

YOU WERE NEVER SEEN.

HOW DO YOU ACCOUNT FOR THAT?

WELL, I--

DIEGO DE LA VEGA,

I ARREST YOU
IN THE NAME OF THE KING.

BUT I AM ALREADY
UNDER ARREST.

YOU ARE ZORRO!

HA HA HA HA HA HA!

WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT,
IDIOT?

R PARDON, COMANDANTE,

BUT IN ALL OF LOS ANGELES--
IN THE WHOLE OF CALIFORNIA--

THERE IS NO ONE LESS LIKELY
TO BE ZORRO THAN DON DIEGO.

PRECISELY--
YOUR DISGUISE IS TOO GOOD.

BUT YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!

Man:
I HAVE AN URGENT MESSAGE

THE SE�OR COMANDANTE.

GUARD, PASS THAT COURIER
IN HERE.

SERGEANT, DRAW YOUR SABER.

NOW, KEEP IT POINTED
AT DE LA VEGA.

IF HE MAKES ANY MOVE
TO ESCAPE,

RUN HIM THROUGH.

, COMANDANTE--

THAT IS AN ORDER, SERGEANT.

WHAT IS THE COMMOTION ABOUT?

IS ALMOST HERE,
SE�OR COMANDANTE--

IN HALF AN HOUR AT THE MOST.

I CAME AS FAST AS I COULD.

WHO IS HERE?

THE VICEROY.

WHAT IS THE VICEROY
DOING HERE WITH NO WARNING?

I KNEW HE WAS IN MONTEREY
WITH THE GOVERNOR,

BUT WHY HERE?

HAPS HE JUST WANTS
TO MEET YOU, COMANDANTE.

THAT IS ALL.

COMANDANTE.

IT IS MY POLITICAL ENEMIES
SPREADING LIES ABOUT ME.

NOW, WHAT POSSIBLE LIES
COULD THEY SPREAD ABOUT YOU?

THAT I AM INCOMPETENT AND--
NEVER MIND ABOUT THE LIES!

IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT,
SE�OR ZORRO.

YES-- YOU ARE HERE
AT AN OPPORTUNE TIME.

I WILL PUBLICLY CLEAN UP
THE ONLY BLOT ON MY RULE HERE.

SERGEANT...

I WANT A JOYOUS RECEPTION
FOR THE VICEROY.

OUS, �CAPIT�N?

WE HAVE ONLY HAPPY PEOPLE
IN LOS ANGELES.

WE HAVE NO CRIME.

OUR PRISON STANDS EMPTY.

THE JAIL IS PACKED LIKE
A KEG FULL OF DRIED FISH.

THEN EMPTY IT.

I DECLARE AN AMNESTY IN HONOR
OF THE VICEROY'S VISIT.

ALL WILL RECEIVE FREE WINE
AT THE TAVERN,

AND THEY ARE TO APPEAR
CHEERFUL AND PROSPEROUS.

WHEN THE VICEROY ARRIVES,
THEY ARE TO CHEER.

IS THAT CLEAR, SERGEANT?

CLEAR, BUT HOW DO YOU FORCE
THE PEOPLE TO BE CHEERFUL?

THAT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

BUT I WANT THEM CHEERFUL,
EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO SHOOT THEM.

THE VICEROY WILL FIND THIS
A MODEL PUEBLO.

YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE TIME.

CAPIT�N.

IN FACT, WE ARE
ABOUT A YEAR TOO LATE.

AND AS FOR YOU, SE�OR ZORRO,

YOU WILL REMAIN HERE
AS MY PERSONAL PRISONER.

LANCER, TAKE HIM
INTO MY QUARTERS--

QUICKLY!

cer: ALL TOGETHER--
�VIVA!

: �VIVA!

VA!
�VIVA!
�VIVA!

VERY WELL-DRILLED,
SERGEANT--

VERY SPONTANEOUS.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,

IT IS WITH PROFOUND HUMILITY
AND RESPECT

THAT I GREET YOU.

WE WILL DISPENSE
WITH THE FORMAL SPEECHES.

IS IS MY DAUGHTER
CONSTANCIA--

IT�NARIO.

I HAD NO IDEA THIS POOR PUEBLO
WOULD BE DOUBLY HONORED.

SE�ORITA,
YOUR MOST OBEDIENT SERVANT.

GALLANTRY AT EVEN
THE MOST REMOTE OUTPOSTS.

REPORTS ON THIS PUEBLO SPOKE
A GREAT DEAL ABOUT CRIME,

CORRUPTION, PACKED JAILS,
AND OPPRESSIVE TAXES,

AND VERY LITTLE
ABOUT THE CONTENTED PEOPLE.

ALL I ASK IS THAT
YOU LOOK AT THE CROWD.

DO THESE LOOK
LIKE OPPRESSED PEOPLE?

: �VIVA! �VIVA!

AND, AS FOR CRIME,

MAY I PRESUME UPON
YOUR EXCELLENCY'S PATIENCE

LONG ENOUGH
TO SHOW YOU OUR PRISON?

THIS IS MORE OF A RECEPTION
THAN I HAD ANTICIPATED.

IF ONLY WE'D BEEN GIVEN
WARNING OF YOUR ARRIVAL,

WE COULD HAVE PREPARED
A PROPER RECEPTION

WITH FLOWERS AND DISPLAY.

FLOWERS CAPIT�ND AT OUR RECEPTION

BLOSSOM ON HIS TONGUE.

HERE, YOUR EXCELLENCY,
IS OUR PRISON.

BUT THE REPORTS
AND THE RECORDS I READ--

THERE WAS CRIME WHEN
I TOOK OVER THE PUEBLO.

BUT POSSIBLY THE REPORTS
WERE WRITTEN

ORE I WAS APPOINTED
COMANDANTE.

I AM CERTAINLY GLAD
I DECIDED TO MAKE THIS TRIP.

I, TOO, YOUR EXCELLENCY.

I SHALL LOOK MORE CAREFULLY
INTO THE REPORTS.

THEY SPOKE OF PROBLEMS
AMOUNTING ALMOST TO REBELLION.

AND WHAT OF THIS OUTLAW--

WHAT IS HIS NAME?
ZORRO, THE FOX?

IS HE AS FALSE
AS THE REST OF THE CHARGES?

NO, YOUR EXCELLENCY.

THE LESSER FORMS OF CRIME
WERE EASY TO STAMP OUT,

BUT ZORRO IS AS CLEVER
AS THE VERY DEVIL HIMSELF.

BUT I WILL HAVE MORE TO SAY
ON THAT SUBJECT LATER.

PLEASE PARDON ME
WHILE I MAKE ARRANGEMENTS

FOR A SUITABLE SUITE AND
SERVANTS FOR YOU AT THE INN.

PERMISO.

DOES OUR COMANDANTE
STRIKE YOU?

AS A POMPOUS FOOL.

HE SEEMED VERY ATTRACTED
TO YOU.

YES, UNFORTUNATELY.

[ FLAMENCO MUSIC PLAYING ]

: �OL�! �OL�!

�!
�OL�!
�OL�!

QUITE ACCOMPLISHED.
VERY ATTRACTIVE.

YES, BUT CONTRASTED
WITH REAL BEAUTY--

IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONCENTRATE
ON ANYTHING ELSE.

I TRUST I GIVE NO OFFENSE.

AFTER SUCH AN EXCELLENT MEAL,
WHO COULD TAKE OFFENSE?

ALLEROS,

EXCELLENCY, GODSPEED
AND GOOD JOURNEY TOMORROW,

AND I TRUST THE REST
OF YOUR TOUR OF INSPECTION

WILL BRING YOU
AS MUCH HAPPINESS

AS YOUR VISIT BROUGHT US.

THANK YOU.

IT HAS BEEN AN EXTREMELY
INSTRUCTIVE EVENING--

MOST ENLIGHTENING.

BUT NOW THAT THE HOUR
IS GROWING LATE,

I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT

AND BID YOU ALL GOOD NIGHT.

GENTLEMEN.

Sergeant...

bring in de la Vega--
quickly!

THANK YOU, SE�OR--
A DELIGHTFUL EVENING.

EXCELLENCY,
YOU HAVE BEEN SO PATIENT.

I BEG YOU GRANT ME
A FEW MOMENTS MORE.

I HAVE BEEN SAVING
A SURPRISE FOR YOU.

COMANDANTEURPRISES, FATHER.

WHEN I TOLD YOU
THAT I HAD STAMPED OUT

ALL CRIME IN LOS ANGELES,

IT WAS ONLY PARTLY TRUE.

ONLY PARTLY?

BUT, YOUR EXCELLENCY,
I HAVE THE HONOR TO ANNOUNCE

THAT, AT THIS VERY MOMENT,
ZORRO IS MY PRISONER.

YOU HAVE CAPTURED ZORRO?

YOU MAY SEE HIM UNMASKED.

THIS SHOULD PROVE EXCITING.

YOU SAID THIS FOX
OUTWITTED YOUR SOLDIERS.

BUT MY SOLDIERS REPRESENT
ONLY MILITARY FORCE.

YOU DO NOT CATCH A FOX
BY BRUTE STRENGTH,

BUT BY CUNNING.

AS YOU'LL SEE,
YOUR EXCELLENCY,

I HAVE BROUGHT A FOX
TO EARTH.

COME WITH ME, SERGEANT.

STAND HERE.

YOUR EXCELLENCY,
I WILL NOT TROUBLE YOU

WITH A LIST OF THIS MAN'S
CRIMES AGAINST THE CROWN.

YOU KNOW THEM
FROM THE OFFICIAL REPORTS--

ENOUGH TO HANG HIM
A DOZEN TIMES OVER.

WE NEED BUT ONE HANGING,
AND I PROPOSE

WE CELEBRATE THAT TONIGHT
IN YOUR PRESENCE.

THIS MAN IS A TURNCOAT?

OF THE WORST SORT--

A MAN WHO HELD A RESPECTED
POSITION IN THIS COMMUNITY.

WITH YOUR PERMISSION...

Man: DE LA VEGA!

FATHER, IT'S DIEGO!

OH, NO, NO, NO.

THERE MUST BE SOME MISTAKE!

ACTUALLY, I'M VERY FLATTERED.

I'M AFRAID THE COMANDANTE
IS SUFFERING FROM A DELUSION.

IT IS A PLEASURE
TO SEE YOU BOTH AGAIN.

YOU-- YOU KNOW THIS MAN,
YOUR EXCELLENCY?

WHY, OF COURSE WE DO.

DIEGO AND MY SON WENT TO
THE SAME UNIVERSITY IN SPAIN.

WE ARE VERY GOOD FRIENDS.

IT�N, ACCUSATION
YOUR IDEA OF A JOKE?

UH, UH, NO,
YOUR EXCELLENCY.

IT IS NO JOKE.

DIEGO DE LA VEGA IS
THE INFAMOUS OUTLAW-- ZORRO!

BUT WHAT REASON WOULD DIEGO
HAVE TO TURN OUTLAW?

THE DE LA VEGAS ARE WEALTHY
LANDOWNERS IN CALIFORNIA.

IF TO TURN OUTLAW
MEANS TO FIGHT HIS TYRANNY,

THERE IS REASON ENOUGH.

ZORRO HAS ALL OF MY SYMPATHY.

UNFORTUNATELY, I--

WELL, I DO NOT SHARE
HIS ABILITIES.

OR ALCALDE,
YOU HAVE BEEN WITNESS

TO ZORRO'S MISDEEDS
AGAINST THE CROWN?

YOU'VE HAD
A GOOD LOOK AT HIM?

IS THIS MAN NOT ZORRO?

I-I AM NOT SURE.

IN THIS COSTUME,
HE LOOKS LIKE HIM.

SERGEANT, YOU HAVE
MY PERMISSION TO SPEAK FREELY.

DE LA VEGA SUBMITTED
WITHOUT PROTEST

WHEN YOU ARRESTED HIM?

COMANDANTE,

, LICENCIADO

YOU HAVE SEEN THIS BANDIT
AT CLOSE RANGE.

CAN YOU NOT IDENTIFY
THIS PRISONER AS ZORRO?

YES.

I AM POSITIVE,
YOUR EXCELLENCY,

THIS MAN, WITHOUT
A DOUBT, IS ZORRO!

DON ESTEBAN...

WOULD YOU PERMIT ME
ONE FAVOR, PLEASE?

WHAT IS IT?

D THE COMANDANTE

TO COOL HIS HEAD
WHILE I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU.

WHAT THE PRISONER HAS TO SAY
CAN BE SAID IN MY PRESENCE.

DO NOT WORRY.
I WILL NOT TRY TO ESCAPE.

IT SEEMS A REASONABLE REQUEST.

WILL YOU BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR HIM?

YES, I WILL.

VERY WELL, I-I BOW
TO YOUR WISHES, EXCELLENCY.

COME WITH ME, SERGEANT.

GUARD THE WINDOWS AND WATCH
THE ROOF AND BALCONY.

IF HE MAKES A RUN FOR IT,
CUT HIM DOWN.

HAS ZORRO ESCAPED ALREADY?

BOBOSO.

IT IS SUCH A PLEASURE
TO CALL SOMEONE ELSE THAT.

I WONDER WHAT LIES DE LA VEGA
IS TELLING THE VICEROY.

THE EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM
IS OVERWHELMING.

CERTAINLY THE VICEROY
MUST REALIZE HE IS GUILTY.

SE�ORITA SEEMED QUITE
ANXIOUS ABOUT HIM, CAPIT�N.

HARDLY ANXIOUS.

IT IS MERELY DIFFICULT
FOR HER TO BELIEVE THE FACTS.

BESIDES, THE SE�ORITA
SEEMS QUITE SMITTEN WITH ME.

OH, YOU THINK SO?

WELL, IS THIS SO DIFFICULT
TO UNDERSTAND?

LOOK AT ME, SERGEANT.
YOU FIND ME...ATTRACTIVE?

NO.

NO, YOU IDIOT, I MEAN
IF-- IF YOU WERE A WOMAN!

IF I WAS A WOMAN
AND FAT LIKE THIS,

I WOULDN'T BE PARTICULAR.

MARRIAGE BETWEEN
THE VICEROY'S DAUGHTER AND I

WOULD BE MUTUALLY ADVANTAGEOUS,
DON'T YOU THINK SO?

IT WOULD CERTAINLY BE

A QUICK WAY
OF BECOMING A COLONEL.

GET INSIDE AND SEE
WHAT IS GOING ON.

CAPIT�N.

RYTHING SEEMS QUIET,
COMANDANTE.

AH-- TOO QUIET.

His Excellency
wishes you to return.

OH.

IT�N,NO DOUBT
AS TO YOUR EARNEST INTENTIONS.

THANK YOU, YOUR EXCELLENCY.

HOWEVER, DIEGO TELLS ME

THAT YOU PROVIDED HIM
WITH THIS DISGUISE.

IT IS IDENTICAL WITH
THE COSTUME ZORRO WEARS.

IN ALL FAIRNESS,

LOOK VERY CAREFULLY
AT THIS DISGUISE

AND TELL ME IF YOU
COULD NOT BE MISTAKEN.

NO, I AM NOT MISTAKEN.

BUT ANY MAN WEARING
THIS CLOAK AND MASK

MIGHT BE MISTAKEN FOR ZORRO.

YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD
A POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION.

TRUE, BUT THIS DISGUISE DOES
CONCEAL MOST OF HIS FEATURES.

ANOTHER MAN MIGHT HAVE
THE SAME BUILD AS DE LA VEGA,

MIGHT BE THE SAME HEIGHT,

MIGHT EVEN WEAR
A MOUSTACHE SUCH AS HIS,

BUT IT IS TOO MUCH TO EXPECT
ALL OF THESE QUALIFICATIONS

IN THE SAME PERSON.

NO. WITHOUT A DOUBT,
THIS MAN IS ZORRO!

NO ONE COULD ASK

FOR A MORE POSITIVE
IDENTIFICATION THAN THAT!

IT�N,NCER PUT ON
THE COSTUME ON MY ORDERS.

NO HARM IS TO COME TO HIM.

BUT DE LA VEGA IS ZORRO!

THIS IS ANOTHER OF HIS TRICKS!

YOU WERE JUST AS POSITIVE

WHEN YOU IDENTIFIED THIS
SOLDIER A FEW MOMENTS AGO.

BUT I KNOW
DE LA VEGA IS GUILTY!

HE POSES AS A POET, A WEAKLING,
AN INEPT SWORDSMAN.

YET THE OTHER DAY
I SAW HIM DUEL AN EXPERT

AND VANQUISH HIM WHEN HE
THOUGHT HE WAS UNOBSERVED.

COMANDANTEUSED THAN I'D IMAGINED.

WHY, THIS IS BECOMING
AN OBSESSION WITH HIM.

COMANDANTE
HAS NOT BEEN WELL.

THIS MATTER OF ZORRO--
HE HAS HARDLY SLEPT.

SHUT UP, YOU IDIOT!

I DO NOT NEED
YOUR ADVICE OR HELP!

YOU HAVE MADE A FOOL OF ME
ONCE TOO OFTEN.

GIVE ME TOO MUCH
CREDIT, COMANDANTE.

IT TAKES NO SKILL AT ALL
TO MAKE A FOOL OF YOU.

IF I CANNOT APPEAL
TO THE VICEROY'S REASONING,

THEN I WILL APPEAL
TO THE DE LA VEGA HONOR.

I DEMAND SATISFACTION.

VERY WELL.

SWORD, PLEASE.

GLOVES.

INNKEEPER!
CLEAR THE ROOM.

IF YOU MUST FIGHT,
PLEASE FIGHT OUTSIDE.

LANCERS, GET THE TABLE
AND CHAIRS OUT OF HERE.

QUICKLY!

AND NOW WE SHALL SHOW
HIS EXCELLENCY

YOUR ABILITY WITH THE BLADE.

FIGHT WELL,
FOR I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!

HA HA HA HA HA HA!

YAH!

FATHER, YOU MUST STOP THEM!

NO, NO, NO. DIEGO KNOWS
WHAT HE IS DOING.

I SHALL FORCE YOU
TO REVEAL YOURSELF.

WHAT-- AS A POOR SWORDSMAN?

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT.

OOH!

AAH!

UGH!

AAH!

DIEGO, THAT IS ENOUGH!
STOP!

NOW, ADMIT YOU ARE ZORRO,

OR YOUR THROAT WILL NEVER
UTTER ANOTHER SOUND.

I GIVE YOU ONE LAST CHANCE.

Lancer: IT'S ZORRO!
LANCERS, TO ARMS!

"SORRY TO HAVE MISSED
YOUR FIESTA.

ZORRO."

PUT ON A VERY CONVINCING
SHOW, CAPIT�N

BUT I HAD
ALL THE EVIDENCE I NEEDED

INST YOU AND LICENCIADO

YOU TAKE THE WORD
OF MY ENEMIES?

IT SEEMS NEARLY EVERYONE
IN CALIFORNIA IS YOUR ENEMY.

YOU'RE BOTH UNDER ARREST.
TAKE THEM AWAY.

DIEGO, I KNEW
YOU COULD NOT BE THIS ZORRO.

OH, THANK YOU, SIR.

SERGEANT GARCIA,
YOU WILL TAKE OVER COMMAND

OF THIS GARRISON UNTIL
A NEW OFFICER IS APPOINTED.

YES, EXCELLENCY!

YES, SIR, YOUR EXCELLENCY!

YOUR EXCELLENCY,
YOU WILL FIND

HAVE NOT MADE A MISTAKE
APPOINTING ME COMANDANTE.

IT'S A PLEASURE.

ANDANTE,

CIAS,GO!

AND NOW, WHAT IS
YOUR FIRST ORDER OF THE DAY?

MY FIRST ORDER--

I DECLARE A HOLIDAY
IN HONOR OF MY PROMOTION.

HA HA HA! BRAVO!

Davy Crockett's tremendous
success in movie theaters,

but it didn't dampen
the public's enthusiasm

for the character of Zorro

or Disney's half-hour series.

It ran for two seasons

and then spawned
a half-dozen hour-long episodes

on the weekly
television anthology

"Walt Disney Presents."

The genial Guy Williams
also found himself

in great demand
for personal appearances,

in full costume,

and often appeared at Disneyland
in Anaheim, California.

Boy, I would have
given anything

to see my hero in person
back then.

And while I did own
a coonskin cap

during the Davy Crockett era,

I was much more hesitant to try
my luck with a plastic sword,

even though
the licensed Disney product

had a rubber tip
for safety's sake.

Many parents
had the same hesitation.

Next, you'll see two

of "Zorro's"
most popular cast members

in a completely
different setting.
