 As with any serial from the 1950s, it is not considered to be one of the best examples of the format.It uses the standard plot of an illicit "land grab" coupled with a new spin on the Zorro story (as Republic wished to use old stock footage from their Zorro serials but had since lost the license for that property).In a version of a standard western plot, the saloon owner Barnett wants the land under the local Indian Reservation for its gold deposits.
