Synopsis: Don Diego is summoned hastily to the Governor's Palace and is informed by the Governor that he is soon to be replaced in that position by a coutier named de Sevas, who plans to come into that office and use his power to rob the land owners of their properties. Zorro, as Don Diego, sails to Spain to prevent the man from assuming that office and the power that goes with it. He soon discovers that he is being spied on by an agent of de Sevas and narrowly escapes death at his hands. Eventually, de Devas uses the King's own seal to proclaim himself Governor and thwart Zorro's plan to stop him.
