...this year the war made another exception. Canadian Charlie Yule took the job, with misgivings. While the hushed crowd of 15.000 watched, Judge Yule weeded out the entries to the four finalists: two from Purdue University, "Loyal Alumnus III" and "College Maid"; the University of Alberta's "Robin Hood" and 18-year-old Evelyn Asay's fat little "Sargo."

Diego found the best procedure was to lead a double life. To the public he became a fine-mannered fop, but in the still of the night he was Zorro, the marauding Robin Hood of the New World, threatening the wicked regime of Quintero and undoing the dirt it did. After numerous narrow escapes, he succeeded in his personal crusade, winning at the same time the Alcante's innocent niece. Tyrone Power is the gay young caballero and he gives the part all he has. But much more convincing is the corpulent Padre, Eugene Pallette, who feels righteous in clouting...
