Director: FRED C. BRANNON. Screenplay: Royal K. Cole, William Lovely, Sol Shor. Based on a character derived from Johnston McCulley. Photography: John MacBurnie. Film editor: DeWitt McCann. Art director: Fred A. Ritter. Set decorators: John McCarthy, jr and James Redd. Make-up: Bob Mark. Music director: Stanley Wilson. Unit manager: Roy Wade. Special effects: Howard Lydecker and Theodore Lydecker. Optical effects: Consolidated Film Industries. Sound recording: Dick Tyler, sr. RCA Sound System. Producer: Franklin Adreon. Executive producer: Herbert J. Yates.
Copyright 1949 and 1959 by Republic Pictures Corp. No recorded New York opening. U.S. release: 30 June 1959. 69 minutes.
SYNOPSIS: A descendant of Zorro helps a lady lay a telegraph line across hostile Indian territory, despite opposition from a band of outlaws.
NOTES: This is a cut-down of Republic's 12-chapter serial of the same name, originally released in 1949.
COMMENT: Of minor interest to Lone Ranger and Zorro devotees, this is pretty humdrum stuff, despite generous slices of solid action lifted from Republic's 1943 serial "Daredevils of the West".
Clayton Moore enacts the masked avenger, whilst Pamela Blake makes an attractive heroine. And it's good to see Roy Barcroft in a major role as the not over-bright heavy. (It's well-spoken blacksmith Gene Stutenroth who gets all the nasty ideas. Outlaw Roy just puts them into effect).
