The Mark of Zorro

love how every meathead soldier was outwitted by the local Rich Idiot with No Day Job™

An old-time Spanish adventure, set in old California. A mysterious caballero is riding and plundering in true Robin-Hood fashion, punishing the state-sanctioned plunderers and greedy soldiers, setting by the heels all the boasters who pretend that they are easily able to catch him. Of course he runs into more trouble when he falls in love with a fair lady whose father is out of favor with the current governor and who soon draws the eye also of his rival, the unscrupulous boaster Captain Ramon.

I figured out pretty quickly who Zorro was, but it sure was a fun tale to read through.
