In the year 1820, Don Diego Vega, the best swordsman in all Madrid, returns home to Los Angeles to find that his father has been deposed as alcalde by a cowardly tyrant, who is brutally treating the people. To right these wrongs he behaves by day like a silly fop, but by night becomes Zorro riding through the countryside in a black mask, ripping down the tax posters with his sword and cutting a 'Z' in the residence of the alcalde - the mark of Zorro.
In fact, here is a Californian 'Scarlet Pimpernel'. Romance, duels, incredible escapes - everything indeed to have given Douglas Fairbanks just the material he needed on the silent screen, and to have done the same for Tyrone Power in a recent talkie.

(baritone)
This famous baritone was among the last to broadcast from Savoy Hill and among the first to do so from Broadcasting House. He has broadcast a notable number of first performances of modern works, and he was televised in Acis and Galatea two years ago.
Foundations of Music, lieder and English song recitals, Sunday Evening Concerts with Dr. Malcolm Sargent, light opera, ballad concerts, student songs-he shines at them all. When he sang the part of Amfortas in a broadcast of Parsifal with Sir Adrian Boult on the Easter Sunday before war broke out, he was heard in Holland and invited to sing the role in two performances at Scheveningen.
