While mild-mannered Don Diego Vega seeks a bride, the cloaked crusader Señor Zorro rides the dangerous highway of Mexican California, armed with a sword, whip, and pistol-righting wrongs, defending the weak, and punishing injustice. The story is set in Reina de Los Angeles circa 1800. Johnston McCulley wrote stories of Zorro for forty years. This first Zorro story was originally serialized as The Curse of Capistrano, and has since left a deep impression on popular culture.
