Airdate: 10/17/57. Guest Cast: Britt Lomond (Capitan Monastario), Romney Brent (Padre Felipe), Eugenia Paul (Señorita Elena Torres), Jan Arvan (Don Ignacio Torres), Pat Hogan (Benito). Directed by: Norman Foster. Teleplay by: Antony Ellis.
Diego continues to develop his dual persona as Zorro by moving Tornado to a secret cave beneath the hacienda, and he shows Bernardo a series of tunnels and hidden doors built into the house's walls. He then rides to the mission to check on the safety of Don Torres, who is hiding from Monastario.
When he returns home there is an unpleasant surprise waiting, for Monastario has come prepared with a mask and cape much like Zorro's. To discover Zorro's true identity, Monastario plans to make each man in the pueblo don the costume, but he changes his mind when he sees how awkward Diego is. To further convince Monastario, Diego insists on wearing the mask and fencing with the capitan, who agrees laughingly that Diego cannot be Zorro.
The commandante does suspect someone in the household, however, for he has noted a resemblance between Zorro and Benito, the chief vaquero. When Benito cannot supply an alibi for the time Zorro has appeared, Monastario's suspicions are confirmed. Intending to kill him, the commandante challenges the younger man to a duel, only to be interrupted by the real Zorro. The outlaw tricks the lancers into following him, thus drawing their attention away from Benito.
