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, our hero must rise. The courage that

even a mask won't disguise.

They turn to the man.

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

to the man.

Not you again!

Don Diego!

Come, join us!

Please excuse me.

Buenas tardes, Sergeant.

Buenas tardes. You must be Pepe.

Yes, that's true. My men can only have this kind of fun once a month.

Then the coffee is on me.

Oh, well, that is not necessary.

It's my pleasure.

Senorita, more coffee for the lancers, please.

Who... who is that?

That's Amanda Herrera. She's staying with us while her father surveys

for a new cattle ranch.

She is a princess.

A dream.

Senorita, allow me to present myself.

I am Sergeant Jaime Mendoza of the Royal Brigade.

Have we met?

I'm Pedro Sanchez, your humble servant.

But he's only a private.

Perhaps some fresh tamales would help.

She is so beautiful.

Persistence is the key to genius, Sergeant.

Try again.

No, Don Diego.

I have other plans.

Private Sanchez.

Aren't you done yet?

Si. Finally.

Good. Now the latrines need cleaning.

Oh, but Sergeant... That's an order.

Now.

The garrison's state of readiness seems to have you on edge, Sergeant.

Oh, no.

It's just a personal matter between Private Sanchez and me.

Latrine duty does seem rather personal.

After a week of that, he'll be asking for a transfer to another garrison.

This wouldn't have anything to do with Senorita Amanda, would it?

Once she gets to know me, she'll forget all about him.

But Sergeant, even if Private Sanchez were to leave Los Angeles, she would

have her pick of any man in the Pueblo.

You mean that there might still be someone else?

Well, she is quite beautiful.

Yes, but beauty is only part of it. I'm in love with her soul, her heart, her

mind. Well, then you must tell her.

Tell her?

I cannot do that.

I am just a mere sergeant. Words like that don't come easy to me.

Maybe you can help me. Me?

No, I don't think so.

Why not?

You are a man of education, breeding, class.

You can help me to win the heart of my Amanda.

Please, Don Diego.

You're looking at a desperate man.

Very well.

Come to the hacienda and I'll see what we can do.

God bless you, Don Diego.

I just had a talk with Don Diego. He said... How do I look?

A bit overdressed, perhaps, but... Overdressed?

You really are a dull sod, aren't you?

The finest tailoring in all of Spain can only enhance the impression a man of my

bearing can make.

The men will be impressed.

I don't care what the men think.

What's all this about De La Vega?

Nothing really. It's just that...

Don Diego has promised to help me woo the woman I love.

Are you in love, Mendoza? Oh, si, mi alcalde.

She is the most beautiful woman I have ever... I'm sure you'll make some

girl very happy.

Oh, thank you, mi alcalde.

Ella Vega teaching Mendoza about women.

That's rich.

And I am.

Like a barefoot boy walking on the hot coals of my heart.

Until you shower me with the moist dewdrops of your love.

Sergeant Mendoza, please.

You don't like it?

I don't understand.

Tell her what you want.

I want...

I want to gaze into your jeweled eyes.

I want to look into the depth of your innocent soul.

I want to share the tingling delights of my longings. I want

to breathe the air you breathe.

Enough, enough, Sergeant Mendoza. Thank you very much. It's very nice to express

your feelings, but delicately.

You have your work cut out for you, Diego.

It's no use.

You need to relax, to be yourself.

Do you really think so, Don Diego? Of course.

I shall be returning soon. Go home, get dressed, and I'll meet you back here

this evening.

I am so nervous.

You'll do just fine.

A life of leisure, of prestige, of power.

You will be the wife of the most influential man in the entire territory.

That sounds very nice, Senor Alcalde. But such feelings take time.

I have all night to show you how I feel.

Now, who could that be?

Why, Sergeant Mendoza, how nice to see you.

Señorita Amanda, I have come to tell you of my feelings.

Do come in, Sergeant.

I think you two know each other, don't you?

What are you doing here?

This poor fool says he's here to pitch his woo.

How perfectly charming.

A woman like you can't be attracted to a man like him.

I should at least hear him out.

Report to my office in the morning.

Be prepared to march.

Señorita, your eyes are like the lake outside our pueblo.

Lake? Sergeant, it's just a mud hole.

Yes, but before the drought.

It was a very beautiful lake.

It really was.

Her lips.

Tell her about her lips.

Your lips are like rose buds in the early spring.

Flowers make me sneeze, especially in spring. But go on.

How do you feel?

I feel so... I feel

so... Don

Diego, what are you doing out here?

Oh, I was just doing a little gardening, that's all.

At night?

Oh, it's the best time for my night -blooming geraniums.

Perhaps you really came to try your hand at courtship.

If so, you've come to the right woman.

Courtship? Me?

No, I don't think so.

I have a good job with excellent benefits. I would make a good husband.

really means to say is that his feelings for you

Lie beyond the tangible, the physical realm, senorita.

His love for you comes from the heart, from the soul.

That is exactly what I was going to say.

Are you sure you speak for him?

Absolutely. His feelings entirely. I just run off at the mouth.

What do you have to do to get a little service in this place?

Well, um, a little common courtesy might help.

Forgive me, Senorita Escalante, I've just had a bad evening.

In such elegant attire? How can that be?

I went at the invitation of Amanda Herrera to the De La Vega Hacienda to

the evening.

The mood was destroyed by the arrival of Mendoza.

She is staying at the De La Vega hacienda?

Alone?

Well, until her father finishes the surveying of the northern territories.

Oh, the first single woman to appear in two years, and suddenly he's the

gracious host.

Do I detect a hint of envy?

Don't be silly.

Diego's not my type at all.

I hope you're not too angry with Mendoza. He has so little experience.

Experience? The only experience he'll get is on foot patrol at dawn.

He's moody, isn't he?

He's not the only one.

The sound's an easy target.

You're right.

I have a plan that will make us very rich, amigo.

Are you sure they're at the northern point of Arroyo Grande?

Bandits kept that close to the pueblo can only mean trouble. Adios.

Of course, if we found the bandits, the alcalde might forgive us.

Never.

What he wants is getting me out of his way so that he can pursue Amanda.

You? Yes, me.

I'm the one that was with her last night. You?

You were with her? Of course.

She finds me irresistible.

That's a lie.

And if you didn't have those sergeant stripes, I'll show you a few things

myself. You're crazy. She's going to marry me.

Well, maybe it's time that I show you what kind of a man it takes.

To woo a woman like Amanda. Amanda is in love with me.

You're crazy.

She's going to marry me.

She's going to marry me.

I won.

Not true.

I am your superior officer.

No matter.

Amanda is going to marry me.

You're just a private.

She never marry you.

Well, why don't we go to her, eh?

And then I'll put the question once and for all. The alcalde has ordered us out

of patrol. The alcalde ordered us to search for the bandits.

Maybe, just maybe, they went back south toward the De La Vega Allende.

I'll kill this. Senorita.

Allow me to present you with this mere token to your beauty.

I wasn't expecting you.

Oh, I came as soon as I could.

But this is not a good time.

Don't worry.

I've sent those fools Mendoza and Sanchez in a wild goose chase. We won't

interrupted today.

I know, I know.

You are thrilled to see me again.

Si, senor.

We have decided.

Alcalde, please.

Don't let them hurt Senor de la Vega.

What do you want?

Please start with all your valuables.

Someday, Amanda and I will make five babies. Don't make me laugh.

Don't come any closer.

Bandidos. We have your alcalde.

So?

And a very pretty señorita.

My Amanda.

Your Amanda.

You don't stand a chance.

My men have this place surrounded.

Cover the other side of the house.

You'll never beat my lances.

There must be a gang of them in there. We have to get some help.

How? We can't even move.

Then perhaps the help needs to come to you.

Zorro!

How did you get here?

I was following their tracks when I heard the gunfire. They have the alcalde

there, Senorita Amanda.

They must have many men to overpower the alcalde.

I only counted two sets of tracks.

We need to alert the garrison.

No, we need to give the impression of strength.

Just listen for my signal, then rush them. Rush them?

We'd be killed!

Sergeant, please.

A little faith.

Just listen for my whistle.

Portillo, they are inside.

It's over. They won't bribe us.

Where are they?

Where are they?

Yes.

Untie them.

Hey, señorita, first.

Mendoza. She is a lady, alcalde. You saved us.

Good work, Sergeant.

Good work.

Alejandro was absolutely not today. No!

But you certainly couldn't have done it yourself.

True, true.

Sanchez followed my orders to a tee.

But how?

What?

Sometimes.

Call it instinct.

I call it bravery.

Bravo!

Mendoza?

Amigo, Mendoza.

Yes, yes.

Amanda and I will probably be announcing our engagement pretty soon.

I have another favorite to ask of you. Anything for the

man who single -handedly rescued my father.

Tell me something.

Is it true that Zorro was sighted near our hacienda yesterday?

Or was he?

I don't know.

What I wanted to ask you is, would you be the best man at my wedding?

You're getting married?

Yes. I proposed to Señorita Amanda this afternoon, just right after I saved her

life. And she accepted your proposal?

Yes. She's coming here this evening to announce our engagement.

Why,

Sergeant, how nice to see you again.

Who is this?

My fiancé.

Isn't he gorgeous?

But, Señorita Amanda, I thought... Oh, you're sweet, Sergeant.

But I had a moment to think about it, and I changed my mind.

Sergeant, I am sorry, really.

I don't understand.

You're not alone.

Perhaps women are a mystery that men are not supposed to understand.

Well, if that is the case, long live the mystery.
