In the third chapter of Zorro's Fighting Legion, our masked, whip-wielding hero (Reed Hadley) manages to save his friend Ramon (William Corson) just before the old mission explodes. Assigned to trail a couple of Don del Oro's henchmen, Zorro's servant Juan (Budd Buster) discovers a secret room in the Mendolito Mine, where Gonzales (Edmund Cobb) and his men are manufacturing the golden arrows used by Tarmac (Joe Molina) and his Yaquis to terrorize the area. His true identity about to be revealed, Juan makes his escape while Zorro, as foppish Don Diego, catches one of Don del Oro's men. About to reveal the true identity of his boss in front of the council, the henchman is killed by one of Tarmac's golden arrows. Returning to investigate the secret room in the mine, Zorro is caught off guard by a couple of thugs and soon finds himself knocked unconscious at the bottom of an elevator shaft. The arrival of the legion frightens the Indians operating the elevator, and the cage is sent plummeting towards a seemingly helpless Zorro.
