Douglas Fairbanks returns as the great Spanish swashbuckler in this sequel to
The Mark of Zorro. Don Cesar de Vega (
Douglas Fairbanks) is the son of the famous masked avanger, Zorro; he's been sent to Spain to continue his education and learn the ways of his homeland. He soon becomes a favorite of the local dignitaries, but this does him little good when he's falsely accused of murder. Faking his own suicide, Don Cesar goes underground, and posing as Zorro, begins his own investigation of the killing; eventually his father arrives, giving us two Zorros for the price of one.
Mary Astor plays Dolores de Muro, Don Cesar's love interest, with
Warner Oland and
Jean Hersholt highlighting the supporting cast;
Donald Crisp, who plays Don Sebastian, also directed. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
