The internationally produced Zorro is set in South America instead of the California locales of the series. Alain Delon stars as the newly appointed governor who immediately butts heads with corrupt Colonel Huerta (Stanley Baker). To rescue the peasants from Huerta’s despotry, the governor becomes the caped-and-masked do-gooder Zorro. The film never really takes itself seriously, not even during the final, well-staged duel between Zorro and Huerta.
On the eve of his return to Spain from the New World, Diego de la Vega (Alain Delon) meets his old friend Miguel de la Serna (Marino Masé), who is about to take up the governorship of Nueva Aragón – after his uncle Don Fernando died of “malaria” in a malaria-free region.
Diego vainly warns the idealistic Miguel that Nueva Aragón is ruled by greed and hatred; later that very evening Miguel is assassinated by Colonel Huerta’s hirelings. Diego vows to avenge Miguel by taking his place, but not before a dying Miguel makes Diego swear „the new governor will never kill.”
As Colonel Huerta (Stanley Baker) asks the local council to appoint him both military and civil governor of Nueva Aragón, Diego walks in, disguised as de la Serna. While lulling Colonel Huerta’s fears by pretending to be a useless fop, Diego learns that Huerta is a cruel despot as well as a dangerous swordsman.
Comic relief is provided by his encounters with Don Fernando’s widow, ‘Aunt’ Carmen (Adriana Asti), Kapitan Fritz von Markel (Giacomo Rossi-Stuart), the former governor’s personal guard, and his new obese bodyguard Sergeant García (Moustache).
With Joaquín (Enzo Cerusico), Miguel’s devoted mute servant, and aided by Assassin, the late Don Fernando’s Great Dane, Diego goes among the people and learns how miserable and afraid they are: the innocent are punished for speaking the truth while the guilty, who cheat unmercifully, are called “respectable” citizens.
Inspired by street urchin Chico’s tales of Zorro, a freedom-loving black fox spirit, Diego creates his own alter ego and begins a campaign for justice with a hilarious marketplace brawl. Outwitting Huerta and his men time and again, he finally stages his own kidnapping (as the governor) by himself (as Zorro) both to free wrongfully held prisoners and to make Colonel Huerta think both are dead.
Huerta, feeling himself safe at last, forces aristocrat Hortensia Polido (Ottavia Piccolo) to the altar. He shoots Brother Francisco (Giampiero Albertini) when the latter leads protesters to the church steps, just as Zorro reappears. Brother Francisco’s murder absolves Diego of his vow to his dead friend Miguel – leaving Zorro free to engage Huerta in a duel to the death.
Diego de la Vega, dévasté par l’assassinat de son ami le gouverneur du Nouvel Aragon, est bien décidé à se venger. Il mène l’enquête en observant le colonel Huerta, un homme cruel aux attitudes de véritable dictateur auprès des plus faibles et des plus pauvres. L’arrivée en ville de Diego coïncide étrangement avec celle d’un mystérieux homme masqué, appelé Zorro, défendant les opprimés…
De pas aangestelde gouverneur Diego ontdekt dat de corrupte kolonel Huerta de dienst uitmaakt in zijn provincie. Om te voorkomen vermoord te worden, probeert hij over te komen als zwak en besluiteloos, zodat Huerta gelooft dat hij ongevaarlijk is. In het geheim vermomt hij zich echter als Zorro, om te strijden voor rechtvaardigheid.
