Zorro

The Arrival (1) (4x7)

: 20, 1992

A special emmisary from the King, Gilberto Ricendo, arrives in Los Angeles and the first thing he does is arrest the Alcalde for treason. He brings with him a troop of Royal Cavalry, sentences the Alcalde to death and imposes martial law while he collects a special war tax. When Zorro spoils his plans Ricendo decides on a new plan. Either the Alcalde and Mendoza catch Zorro or they both die instead. Ricendo's real purpose in Los Angeles, however, is nothing to do with collecting taxes. He is out to destroy the De La Vegas.
