Diego Vega, the eighteen-year-old scion of a local landowner, returns from studying in Spain and discovers that his homeland has fallen under the dictatorship of Commander Raymond and Lieutenant Gabriel.

In his day-to-day life, Diego portrays himself as a clumsy and cowardly boy who flees when faced with dangerous situations only to appear moments later as Zorro.

Diego's childhood friend and sweetheart, Lolita Prideaux, believes that Spain changed him and she scolds him relentlessly for his idiotic behavior.

[1][circular reference][2] The town of Santazco holds its annual rodeo, and everyone gathered at the cliff over the ocean to watch it and have fun.

He achieved his goal, but when he heard Carlos saying that Diego will marry Lolita and the maiden expressing her true feelings about Zorro and that she will marry him, the lone child of Vega gave up the try, so he purposely lost his balance and fell into the ocean, causing Lolita to storm off out of anger and the rest to lower their heads out of shame, since he lost the gold and the game.

For their misfortune, the army has blocked off the road that leads to this town, and Commander Raymond and Lieutenant Gabriel inspected that roadblock where Sergeant Gonzales was in charge.

Gonzales revealed the reason of Raymond's sudden change of mood: tomorrow at midnight, the army is about to claim the immense property of Carlo Fernandez, Santazco's most wealthy person, who had passed away six months ago.

Back in present, Diego asked the Sergeant why the army has established roadblocks in each borderline, and Gonzales, despite his hesitation, decided to tell the truth to his young friends.

The army patrols every borderline, to prevent the daughter, Hannah, from coming to Santazco before the end of the time limit of the six months, so that Raymond achieves his goal.

Anyway, Diego and Bernard completed the first part of their assignment during the sunset and were about to return to Santazco with the sheep they took for the Vega family, until their dog, Tackle, presented to them a shoe, which, as it seemed, belongs to a mysterious maiden who was lying unconscious at the riverside and was heavily injured.

After hiding successfully the maiden from Gabriel and his troops, whom were searching everywhere, Diego checked the words that were carved in the backside of the cross, and he and Bernard realized that they just helped Hannah, Carlo Fernandez's daughter.

Gonzales ate the bait, but he still had strict orders from Lieutenant Gabriel personally to prevent the passage of non-citizens of Santazco to the town through the roadblock, just for the present day.

They did manage to reach home at night, along with Hannah and her golden cross, whom they decided to hide somewhere in the yard, even if Gonzales just grew suspicious about the bad smell and wanted to find out where it comes from.

Diego remembered the promise he gave to Gonzales before and took the bottle, giving away to Lolita unwillingly the true gender of the “shepherd” who had kissed him before.

During the time limit of three minutes Gonzales gave to Lolita, Diego discussed with her a clever plan that will help Hannah escape from jail unnoticed.

Before taking away her life, however, he was stopped by the real Zorro, who came to pick up Hannah and lead her to the notary office at full speed.

Bernard feels for a long time that his adult friends treat him like a little kid, and he tries hard to do all the housework that the grown-up men usually do, but he always fails.

The parents have asked the lone daughter of their friends, Pulido, to stay along with Nikita, while they will go to meet a relative of theirs who had a little accident recently, and they will be back tomorrow at noon.

He realized that these three men who were having a conversation before are the wanted robbers of Santazco, and was totally surprised when he heard them talking about their upcoming robbery at the house of Nikita.

They knew that the parents left on a trip and entrusted Nikita to Lolita, who are both harmless and won't mess up with their plans.

Now that Bernard learned everything about the robbery, he ran to inform Diego, but then stopped, and thought to himself that he can capture the robbers all alone, something that will make him a true hero and a man.

To inform Nikita and Lolita about the robbery, Bernard first returned home (with the shopping, of course) and prepared his stuff, including an old sword, in order to stay at Vasquel's house as well.

Sergio, worrying about his henchmen and that their plan is about to fail, invaded the house from the front, but Zorro stopped him, and the two men fought each other.

Despite being distracted by Nikita's voices, Zorro managed to defeat Sergio, and then asked Figaro to give his own helping hand to his friend.

The pit bull took one of the candles that Bernard has put to the front door, and burned a little Manuel's clothes, forcing him to leave Nikita.

The girls tied up the goons and locked them inside the cellar, so to await the army to come and arrest them, alongside the leader.
