Based on Johnston McCulley.s The Curse of Capistrano first published in 1919.

Set in Los Angeles during the era of early 19th-century Colonial Spanish
California, the story introduces us to wealthy, young aristocrat Don Diego de
la Vega, son of the richest ranchero in the country. Don Diego is an idler who
has never concerned himself with more than the cut of his clothes. Unlike other
full-blooded youths of his age, he presents himself as a fop, lacking in vigor,
vitality, and strength. But Vega.s timorous reputation is merely a mask to
conceal his alter ego.El Zorro. As Zorro, dressed in black and wearing a mask,
he is transformed into a cunning swordsman who fearlessly pulls off dashing
and daring escapades in his quest to avenge the helpless, aid the poor and
oppressed, and punish cruel officials. Deemed an outlaw by California.s
corrupt governor, he is ever-hunted by the Commandante of La Reina de Los
Angeles, Capitan Ramon, and his henchman, Sergeant Pedro Gonzalez.

Forced to find a wife or lose his inheritance, Diego sets off to romance the
fiery, outspoken Lolita Pulido, the most beautiful senorita in Los Angeles.
Unimpressed with Diego.s passionless efforts to win her affections, Lolita
finds herself attracted to the dashing and courageous Zorro. With the Pulido
family having been impoverished by the corrupt governor, her father would see
her married to the rich Don Diego. At the same time, the nobly born but morally
dissolute Captain Ramon has also taken an interest in the fair senorita, making
matters worse. As tensions heighten between Ramon and the Pulido family and
pursuit of the masked avenger intensifies, Zorro leaves his mark on those who
would perpetrate injustice.

The Mark of Zorro, masterfully adapted into a full-cast audio drama by the
award-winning Hollywood Theater of the Ear especially for Blackstone Audio,
is an exciting, action packed, swashbuckling adventure that will have
listeners on the edge of their seats.
