Curse of Capistrano (Dramatic Reading)

Before Batman, before the Lone Ranger, there was Zorro. In sun-baked colonial California, where the governor's iron fist crushes the people and soldiers patrol on horseback, a young nobleman named Don Diego Vega leads a secret life. By day, he is a foppish dilettante who faints at the sight of blood. By night, he becomes Zorro, the masked fox whose lethal blade inscribes justice onto the backs of tyrants. When Lolita Pulido, daughter of a defiance landowner, catches his eye, Zorro finds more than a cause to fight for. He finds a woman worth dying for. But Sergeant Pedro Gonzales, the brutal enforcer of the governor's will, has sworn to capture the fox and destroy the Pulido family. The stage is set for a duel of wit, will, and blade across the missions and presidios of Spanish California. This is the story that launched a legend. The Mark of Zorro. The original masked vigilante. Fast, violent, and crackling with romantic charm.
