The year is 1849, and the future state of California is under the control of former soldiers from the Mexican-American War.

Until one man shows up and starts picking off Gomez's men one by one, as stealthy as a fox. He brandishes a sword which he uses to carve the letter Z into his victims' cheeks... Could this be the true Zorro?
