[edit] Plot

In contemporary (for the 1937 production) California, villain J A Marsden aims to take over the California-Yucatan Railroad with the aid of his henchman El Lobo. The rightful owners, Joyce and Phillip Andrews, naturally object and are soon aided by the arrival of James Vega, great grandson of the original Zorro, Don Diego de la Vega. James Vega installs himself in the original Zorro's hideout and adopts the Zorro identity to defeat Marsden.
