ZORRO - Crack shot, super swordsman...known to few, his iron hand is felt by all who dare defy the law!

J.A. Marsden

 * Zorro, Zorro, Zorro. Can't you get rid of that man?

Dialogue

 * Joyce Andrews: Murdered! Brutally murdered by this fiend who calls himself El Lobo. He isn't human I tell you. An old man and a little boy - no employee of this company is safe!
 * Phillip Andrews: But sis...
 * Joyce Andrews: Oh, if there were only a man like your great-uncle Zorro, Don Manuel. He would know what to do with such as El Lobo.


 * Joyce Andrews: But what to do about it? Protest to the authorities and wait for El Lobo to choose to commit anothre outrage? Oh, I'm sorry, Don Manuel. I guess it's not knowing what to do about it.
 * Don Manuel Vega: There is something we can do. By signing the California and Yucatan Railroad over to Marsden and allowing him to finish construction of it, I believe El Lobo's raids will be stopped.
 * Phillip Andrews: But the railroad in Marsden's hands would be ruinous to Mexico.
 * Don Manuel Vega: Exactly! The welfare of thousands of people depend on our construction of the railroad. No, we will not sell.


 * Don Manuel Vega: I will be eternally indebted to you, Senor. Who are you?
 * James Vega: You may call me... Zorro.
 * Joyce Andrews: Zorro? But Zorro...
 * James Vega: Yes, senorita, Zorro has been dead these many years - but the spirit of Zorro will never die.
