Believing that Zorro (Reed Hadley) has perished in an explosion, Don del Oro, the false Yaqui god, assigns the tribe to attack San Mendolito. In an aside to his henchmen, the villain reveals that he is a member of the San Mendolito council and that they must "send the government troops on a fool's errand." Zorro, who has escaped the explosion unharmed, reveals to a delighted Volita (Sheila Darcy) that he is Don Diego and that Don del Oro is a member of the council. About to learn the villain's true identity, Zorro and Ramon (William Corson) are interrupted by his henchmen, and the three crooked council members -- Felipe (Leander de Cordova), Gonzales (Edmund Cobb), and Pablo (C. Montagu Shaw) -- make their escape. At Don del Oro's cave, the false god kills his two fellow council members lest they reveal his identity. About to send his Indians out to kill, Don del Oro is stopped by Zorro who, after a hefty struggle, removes the villain's mask. The false Don del Oro is properly dispatched to the bottomless pit, and Don Diego is greeted by none other than President Juarez (Carleton Young), who makes Ramon the new governor of San Mendolito. To the rousing strains of William Lava's &We Ride!", Zorro, alias Don Diego, returns to California, his mission accomplished.
