Its sort of a passing of the torch movie as well. Antonio and Anthony Quinn
are BOTH Zorro. Short form is that the Old Zorro finaly gets captured, and
sent to prison... but eventually escapes after like 10-15 years. Antonio's
charecter starts out as a common bandit, meets up with Quinn, and eventually
becomes the New Zorro under Quinn's tutalage.
