Short filmTranscript
00:04Out of the night, when the full moon is bright, comes a horseman known as Zorro.
00:13This poor renegade carves the sea with his blade, a sea that stands for Zorro.
00:24Zorro, the fox so cutting and free, Zorro, who makes the sign of the sea, Zorro, the fox so cutting
00:43and free, Zorro, who makes the sign of the sea.
00:51Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro!
01:21Zorro, Zorro.
01:22Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro.
01:27Bung Leere.
01:27Zorro!
01:32Oh, my God.
01:57Oh, my God.
02:38Sergeant, Sergeant Garcia, there's a bear in the plaza.
02:47Corporal, did you say there was a bear out there?
02:49Si, si.
02:50Oh, hello, little one.
02:51What are you doing here?
02:52Well, of course, I keep forgetting.
02:54All right.
02:55Open the gate.
02:56Let me get a shot.
02:57Do not open the gates until I say so.
02:59But there's a bear out there.
03:00He'll get away.
03:11Where is he now?
03:13He's over by the well.
03:15Always, I wanted a bear-skinned rug.
03:18Corporal, open the gate.
03:28Open the gate!
03:30Stupid!
03:31Do not close the gates with me outside.
03:33Suppose I should miss.
03:34If the sergeant would rather have me do it.
03:36Oh, no.
03:37No, I will shoot him, but you and you get muskets and come with me just in case he should
03:41move when I fire.
03:43atmosphere.
04:12How are you doing?
04:18Open the gate.
04:54Open the gate.
05:15Shoot him, somebody. Shoot him, quick.
05:40Open the gate.
05:43Open the gate.
05:51Twice I tried to shoot him, but this stupid musket would not fire.
05:55Neither it might. I think something must be wrong.
05:58This is always true. If something was not wrong, things would not seem right.
06:02Corporal.
06:11Corporal, I have seen one musket fail to fire. I have even seen two muskets fail to fire.
06:16But never before in my whole life have I seen everybody's muskets fail to fire and at the same time.
06:21Never did I hear so many quiet noises.
06:25Corporal, do you think our gunpowder could have been wet?
06:33It's not wet, Sergeant.
06:35Then why did all the muskets fail to fire?
06:38It's very peculiar, but it's not wet.
06:40Peculiar. In what way?
06:43It does not look quite like gunpowder.
06:46It does not smell like gunpowder.
06:48It does not act like gunpowder.
06:50See if it tastes like gunpowder.
06:56Well?
06:58I'm not sure.
06:59Try again. Try again.
07:07Well, does it taste like gunpowder?
07:10I don't know, Sergeant. I don't think I have a taste in gunpowder.
07:22Of course the muskets would not fire, Boboso. This is charcoal.
07:26How could it be charcoal? I just opened up a brand new keg of gunpowder.
07:30You must have opened a keg of charcoal by mistake, stupid.
07:33Do we have kegs of charcoal?
07:35Do we have kegs of charcoal? Of co...
07:40No.
07:42How could a keg of gunpowder turn out to be a keg of charcoal?
07:47I know.
07:48You do?
07:49When I was a little boy, we had a barrel of cider.
07:51But we let it stand too long and it turned to vinegar.
07:54What has that got to do with it?
07:56Well, maybe let the gunpowder stand too long and it turned to charcoal.
08:00Oh.
08:24And such a big bear, Don Diego.
08:27All the others were frightened and wanted to run back to the quartel.
08:30But I said to them, do not be afraid.
08:32Aye, Sergeant Demetrio Lopez Garcia will protect you.
08:36And if you could have seen the way I chased after that bear, Don Diego, you would hardly believe it.
08:41Well, just listening to you tell it, Sergeant, I hardly believe it.
08:46I always wanted a bare skin rug for my floor.
08:49So I started out.
08:50And if only I could have gotten my hands on him.
08:54Why didn't you shoot him?
08:55Shoot a hole in my rug?
08:57Oh, I see what you mean.
09:03Hey, Sergeant, do you have a problem?
09:06Oh, no, Don Diego, I...
09:10Don Diego, do you think it is true that gunpowder turns to charcoal if it stands too long?
09:16Of course not.
09:17Who ever told you such a thing?
09:20Nobody. Nobody at all.
09:24Oh, so that's what happened this morning when the muskets would not fire.
09:28You were using charcoal instead of gunpowder?
09:32It is not true that the muskets would not fire. That is all wrong.
09:35And besides, how did you find out about it?
09:38But now there was there, remember?
09:42Don Diego, I do not know what to do.
09:46Sergeant, just what is the trouble?
09:50Our gunpowder is not gunpowder at all.
09:53Just charcoal ground up to look like gunpowder.
09:56You mean someone stole the gunpowder from the quartel and substituted charcoal?
10:03Shh! I made the men promise to keep it a secret.
10:06It would not do for the enemies of the king to find out we are almost without gunpowder.
10:10And that was very wise, Sergeant.
10:12Sometimes it is not easy to be an acting comandante, Don Diego.
10:16I know what you mean, Sergeant.
10:17Oh, tell me, who has access to the gunpowder?
10:23Well, there were only four of us.
10:26Capitan Toledano, Corporal Reyes, and myself.
10:32That is only three. Who is the fourth?
10:33That is what I do not know.
10:35He is the one who took the gunpowder.
10:39Sergeant, you might find it a good idea to question everyone in the quartel.
10:44Find out if anyone has seen anything suspicious or has any idea when and how the switch was made.
10:49You are right, Don Diego.
10:51If you will excuse me, I will return to the quartel immediately and begin the questioning.
10:54Gracias, Don Diego.
11:05Corporal Reyes, come in, please.
11:07Sit down.
11:15Corporal, where were you last night between the hours of 7 and 10 o'clock p.m.?
11:19I was with you.
11:21Never mind the alibis. Answer the question.
11:23Don't you remember, Sergeant, we went to the bake shop and I talked to the baker while you sneaked up
11:28and...
11:28Shh! You have to tell everything you know.
11:31Would you ask me?
11:33So I did.
11:34But couldn't you just lie a little like a gentleman?
11:38Did you learn anything, Sergeant?
11:40I have learned a great deal.
11:42I have learned that Private Mendoza last night lost 14 pesos in a game of Bruja.
11:48Private Morales talks in his sleep and poor Private Sotelo.
11:52He gets practically no sleep at all listening to what Private Morales has to say.
11:57But what does this have to do with it?
12:00Barbosa, don't you know anything at all?
12:02These little things taken by themselves may not seem important, but put them all together, then you get the whole
12:09picture.
12:10It's good to have the whole picture, no?
12:15Corporal, I do not know what to do.
12:19We are almost defenseless without gunpowder.
12:23Capitan Toledano told me that there are enemies of the King just waiting to attack us at any moment.
12:30It is a big responsibility to have on one's shoulders.
12:35I thought it would be very pleasant to be a comandante, but...
12:39Maybe you will learn who took the gunpowder.
12:41No.
12:43You are the last soldier on the post to be questioned.
12:46Have you asked the questions of the Senora Toledano?
12:50Of course not. She is the comandante's wife.
12:53But you said you were to ask the questions of every person in the cuartel.
12:57And she is a person.
13:00She is a person, that is true.
13:06I think I will go now.
13:20Yes?
13:21I am sorry, Senora, but as acting comandante, I must question everybody inside the cuartel.
13:27Even including you.
13:29Please?
13:31What is it you wish to know?
13:33Do you know anything about, well, something that you have maybe seen sometime, if you happen to notice it?
13:41I mean, just anything you can think of offhand?
13:44I do not understand the question. Like what?
13:47Well, for example, do you know how to play...
13:52No.
13:53Do you ever talk in...
13:56Just anything?
13:58Well, I can think of nothing.
14:00I have been thinking and thinking about how the gunpowder got out of the cuartel.
14:05The only things that have gone out of the cuartel gates at all are those big boxes that you had
14:10brought in and sent out again.
14:12I told you those were my husband's effects.
14:15There is not enough room for them in my small quarters with all my things, too.
14:19I sent them to the inn to have them stored.
14:21Oh, I understand that, Senora.
14:23It is just that nothing else has left the cuartel.
14:26You dare to question the wife of the comandante?
14:29Accuse me of being an enemy of the king?
14:31Oh, no, Senora. I do not mean anything like that.
14:34If you are all through with the questioning, Sergeant, I shall go over to the inn to make sure my
14:40husband's effects are properly stored.
14:53I do not care.
14:54It is just a matter of time before the Sergeant is convinced that those boxes contain gunpowder.
14:59We can't take chances if we let anything happen to dispatch of gunpowder.
15:02Have you heard anything yet from the Eagle?
15:04See, he knows that the other shipment of gunpowder got back to the presidios in the north.
15:08Is he angry about it?
15:10Oh, did you expect him to be happy?
15:12Plans were all made to attack these presidios within the next few days, but now that they again have the
15:16gunpowder, it is a different matter.
15:18It will mean a delay in operations all the way from Monterrey to San Diego.
15:22That's all we needed, to have that Sergeant start asking questions, even stupid questions.
15:26At least I have never failed at my job, and the Eagle knows it.
15:30I will get rid of this fat Sergeant for you.
15:33Do you have to kill him?
15:35No, there's no other way, Senora.
15:36That is my specialty, taking care of people who get in the way of the Eagle.
15:42There is only one little problem that I can see.
15:44Yes?
15:45Well, this one may not fit into a shallow grave.
16:23I can't do.
16:37Ok, here.
16:38Here, when you see, I'll go.
16:42I'm out.
16:42My safety is not too heavy.
16:43I'm out, and I'm left.
16:45I will take care of people.
16:45But, if you don't feel the same, we are going to pay me.
16:45Oh, my God.
17:31Make no moose, senor, except to raise your hands over your head.
17:35I warn you, my husband has taught me to be an expert with the pistol.
17:41So, this is El Zorro,
17:44caught like a mouse in a trap.
17:47You, like the sergeant, are a little too curious for your own good.
17:53Do you think this is the only place where gunpowder can be hidden?
17:56You think you can pull the same treat twice in a row?
18:00Permit me to reach into my pocket.
18:02I have the clip feather of an eagle, which I would like to show you.
18:05I believe your attitude will change.
18:07You are not really Zorro?
18:10At least allow me to offer my identification.
18:12If this is a trick, senor, I warn you, you will soon join the fat sergeant.
18:28I do not know how or why you became involved in this, senora, but it is a treacherous plot, hardly
18:33befitting the wife of a comandante.
18:35You should be helping us, senor, Zorro, not fighting against us.
18:39Everything we do, we do for the ultimate good of California.
18:41Murder, treason, spreading misery in every way possible, this is for the good of California, eh?
18:46The people are lazy, lethargic, contented.
18:49They are like a herd of sheep.
18:51Our only hope for California is for a strong man to take over.
18:54If you believe this, senora, then you let someone make a fool of you.
18:57And now, if you value your life, you will explain to me that remark of the fat sergeant.
19:03What remark?
19:03You do not deny that the sergeant is fat.
19:06What have you done with...
19:07What's going on down there?
19:12Listen, I could bind and gag you with your own scarf to prevent you from calling out.
19:16If I do not do this, will you promise to keep silent until I'm away from here?
19:21Your word of honor?
19:24Very well.
19:26I accept the word of the Spanish lady.
19:29Help!
19:30It's Zorro!
19:30He's going out the window, in the wine cellar!
19:32Help me!
19:45Make no sound, corporal.
19:46This is Zorro.
19:48Zorro?
19:49Where is Sergeant Garcia?
19:50He's not here, senor Zorro.
19:52Where is he?
19:53It is a matter of life and death.
19:54He left with the senores Quintana and Fuentes.
19:57They were going to help him get back to gunpowder.
19:59How long ago?
20:01Maybe an hour.
20:02Maybe half hour.
20:04I don't know.
20:06All right, corporal.
20:07Put your face against the wall.
20:09And do not turn around until you have finished counting to 100.
20:12Or I will cut off your ears.
20:15Uno.
20:17Dos.
20:19Tres.
20:22Cuatro.
20:43Is this the place, senores?
20:44Is this where we get the gunpowder?
20:46This is the place, Sergeant.
20:47Is it hidden somewhere here in the rocks?
20:49It will be here soon.
20:51Now, I suggest you take up a position where you can watch the road.
20:54Probably back here somewhere.
20:56Oh, then someone is bringing it here.
20:59Is that it, senores?
21:00That is it.
21:01Yeah.
21:22This should do it, Sergeant.
21:24Sit down here and have your rifle ready.
21:27Do not take your eyes off the road.
21:30How long must I not look away?
21:32Oh, just you keep watching.
21:34And let us know when you see a wagon approaching.
21:36A wagon filled with cakes of gunpowder, eh, senor?
21:39That's right.
21:50Do you think this is far enough from the road?
21:52It is all right.
21:53We will go back into town and report that the last time we saw him,
21:57he was heading into the hills in pursuit of Zorro.
22:00Will people believe that Zorro will shoot the fat sergeant in the back?
22:03They can believe what they want to believe.
22:06He is a big man.
22:08One shot may not do it.
22:09So you be ready to act quickly, if necessary.
22:12Si.
22:28Zorro!
22:38Sergeant, it is a trap.
22:40They brought you out here to kill you.
22:41Oh, no, senor Zorro.
22:43You do not understand.
22:44These men are my friends.
22:45They brought me out here to get the gunpowder
22:47that was stolen from the quartel.
22:49Yeah!
23:01Don't move around so much, sergeant.
23:02You offered too big a target.
23:04Stay where you are.
23:07I've got his gunpowder!
23:19Enrique, I'm...
23:20Enrique, I'm...
23:23Enrique, I'm...
23:32THE END
24:00Sergeant, what I do not understand is this, with three of you there, why did you permit Zorro to get
24:06away?
24:06We did not mean to do it, Don Diego. Would you believe it? I was this close to catching him.
24:11What happened?
24:12I honestly do not know. I was just closing my hands on him, and the next thing I knew, I
24:18was back in the plaza on a wagon, and Corporal Reyes was pouring a bucket of water over my head.
24:24Do you know what that rascal of Zorro tried to tell me? He tried to tell me that my good
24:28friend, Sr. Quintana, and poor Sr. Fuentes were trying to shoot me in the back.
24:33He should have known I wouldn't believe anything like that.
24:44Next week, Zorro is faced with certain death.
24:50It's all right, Sr. This is perhaps the greatest service she could have done us. She has put Zorro in
24:54her room without any way of escape. No windows? This is the only door.
24:58I will give you one minute to get outside the building, senores, or I'll blow it up.
25:07It's about to blow up.
25:08You have ten seconds to live, senores.
25:11Eight seconds.
25:12For spine-tingling suspense, be with us next week when the Walt Disney Studio presents Zorro.
25:19You have ten seconds to live, senores, or you have ten seconds to live, senores, or you have ten seconds
25:32to live, or you have ten seconds to live, or you have ten seconds to live, or you have ten
