Zorro makes a surprise visit to free the Indians from their forced labors.; Monastario rubs salt in the wounds of Padre Felipe when he forces a mission Indian to confess that the freed Indians plan to come back and burn the mission. Don Diego has a plan in mind to frighten Sergeant Garcia and the Lancers with a tale of a mission ghost, allowing Inocente to be freed from the clutches of the Commandante.; Bernardo, after surviving several near accidents, accompanies Zorro as he heads out, trying to trace the whereabouts of a kidnapped girl named Maria. The masked Robin Hood uses Bernardo to send the Lancers out on a false lead after Zorro so that the Fox can locate the girl. All are surprised when they discover that the girl and her fiancee had run away to get married.
