Attorney Jeff (George Turner) Stuart returns from the
Civil War to find Box County taken over by crooked
politicos. After every legal avenue fails to oust the bad
apples, Jeff adopts the masked identity of his late
father, and the legendary ZORRO rides again. Western
action aplenty and a mystery villain!! A true classic!! AC
publisher and film/Western aficionado Bill Black calls
this HIS personal favorite among all the ZORRO film
versions ever done. Though sticking only loosely to the
continuity of previous Zorros, Jeff Stewart's motivation
(using every means available to a top flight attorney, but
still unable to bring the crooked operators to justice)
for donning the mask & black outfit anchors a solid
script, with good acting, stunts & top-notch direction
from Spencer Bennet. Excellent
support from veteran serial thespians Peggy Stewart & Roy
Barcroft lift the cast well above average.The program consists of all 13 chapters of the
entire 182- minute 1946 serial, filmed in black & white,
plus the original theatrical trailer AND Chapter 3 of The
Painted Stallion as extras. It is an all-ages movie
presentation on two DVD discs, in NTSC format, recorded on
DVD-R discs. It should play on any standard DVD player.
