"The Mark of Zorro" was a made-for-TV movie released in 1974, and backdoor pilot for a TV series which ABC-TV declined to pick up; it was basically a remake of the Tyrone Power movie of the same name. The original music score was composed by Dominic Frontiere. Don Diego's mute servant Bernardo is absent from the 1920 silent film.

Plot summary

In the Victorian period, the foppish Don Diego de la Vega returns from Spain to his family in California to find that his father has been replaced as ruler of the area by the cruel Don Luis Quintero. Despite being a bit of a swordsman, Diego downplays his skills in front of the evil Captain Esteban and shows himself to be a bit of a clown in front of his family. However, Diego secretly picks up the sword of justice as Zorro and fights to return justice to the region and his people.
