Zorro

Victoria is accused of murdering a guest at her tavern.

Don Alejandro's female pen pal comes to Los Angeles and wedding bells are in the air, much to Diego's chagrin.

Alcalde Ramon tries to monopolize the pueblo's water supply.

Diego's cousin is visiting the hacienda with his fiancee. However, when it becomes apparent that she plans to leave him due to her infatuation with Zorro, he plans to challenge Zorro to a duel.

The de la Vegas are surprised poor farmer Maceas offers them a free load of beans, because he believes Zeus, a fine stallion he nursed to racing shape after Don Esteban ordered it put down, will win him a fortune from a certain Señor Herrera.

When Zorro finds a few bandits' spoils, the loot includes a 'bundle of joy' they are glad to be rid of: a baby-girl.

The alcalde promises the pueblo a direct route to San Pedro, the Ramone highway, but press-gangs 'recruits' to build it.

Desperate for a hiding place in the canyon, the wounded Zorro reminisces further how he showed Felipe his set-up in the hacienda's secret escape trough the fireplace to the hideout cave.

The lancers climb down in the canyon, and find not Zorro's corpse but his cloths on a dummy made from branches; Toronado frees and chases their horses without anyone giving him instructions; Felipe helps Diego stay hidden under water, breeding trough a reed.

Zorro and Felipe bravely made their last stand, but face only their horses: Toronado even found a way out so they get home.

Ramon's racist guards harass and arrest a free black man named Felipe on trumped-up charges.

Robbers take the garrison's pay; Don Alejandro de la Vega witnesses that and tries to stop them, but gets knocked down, hard.

The traveling Frenchman Foucard impresses the pueblo, even ever-skeptical Don Diego, as magician and pickpocket, then romances Victoria and performs various science-based services to various villagers.

Spanish royal army Colonel Mefisto Palomarez, the dreaded butcher of the Yucatan campaign, soon loses the alcalde's admiration when he announces he has come to eliminate Zorro.

Sebastian Moreno, an author from Spain, arrives in the pueblo to write the story of Zorro and his true identity.

The alcalde is delighted to hear Leonardo Montez, who hid the jewel he stole from the Guadelupe mission sanctuary in Santa Barbara, has escaped in the pueblo's direction and probably comes to retrieve it.

Toronado is lost, limping in the desert, to Diego's despair. A small boy finds and 'adopts' the normally indomitable stallion.

Diego looked forward to the arrival of the new mission padre Benitez, whom he knows from correspondence on ornithology.

Don Diego and Felipe are puzzling which ancient creature's bones are preserved in natural tar when Don Alejandro reports the heir to the portillo hacienda is none other then- Sergeant Jaime Mendoza, an orphan but distantly related.
