The Mark of Zorro

In Madrid, the talented aristocratic military swordsman and rider Diego Vega returns to the Mexican California to reunite with his father, the Alcalde Don Alejandro Vega, and his mother. When he arrives in Los Angeles, he finds that his father has been replaced by the tyrannous Alcalde Don Luis Quintero who oppresses the people. Don Diego does not disclose his abilities with the sword and disguises pretending that he is a sophisticated fashionable gay man. However, when he secretly wears a mask and rides a black horse, he becomes the avenger Zorro that carves his mark for the fearfulness of his enemies.
