The film is based on the character Zorro created by Johnston McCulley and serves as a remake of the 1920 silent film "The Mark of Zorro," which starred Douglas Fairbanks.

In this version, Tyrone Power plays Don Diego Vega, a wealthy nobleman who masquerades as the masked avenger Zorro to fight against the tyrannical rule of the corrupt Spanish governor. Linda Darnell plays the love interest, and Basil Rathbone plays the villainous Captain Esteban Pasquale.
