20年后，为完成自己未了的心愿，佐罗戴上面具越狱逃出。这时，西班牙前总督蒙特罗仍在继续作恶，他正计划从墨西哥总统桑特阿南将军手中买下整个加利福尼亚的所有权。
为阻止蒙特罗的行动，佐罗找到被通缉的盗贼马瑞塔，把他培养成自己的继承人，希望小伙子能够摧毁蒙特罗的梦想。于是，传说中的佐罗面具传到了马瑞塔的手里，可是，当新“佐罗”执剑对准那位好胜的西班牙公主时，却发现她原来就是当年被拐走的老佐罗的千金…… 精彩对白 Ted Crawford: I love you. Does he?
特德·克劳福德（开枪射击他的妻子）：我爱你，他呢？
Ted Crawford: I used to candle eggs at my grandfather's farm; hold an egg up to a light and look for imperfections. The first time I did it he told me to put the ones that were cracked or flawed into a bucket for the bakery. He came back an hour later and there were 300 eggs in the bucket. I found a flaw in every single one. Thin places in the shell fine hairline cracks. Look closely enough and you'll find everything has a weak spot where sooner or later it will break.
特德·克劳福德：我曾经在祖父的农场对着烛光观察鸡蛋，只要拿起一只鸡蛋，举至光源处，就能寻找到它们之间的区别与缺陷。我第一次这么做的时候，祖父告诉我，把裂了缝或有缺陷的鸡蛋放进桶里，好拿去给面包店。他一个小时后回到这里，桶里放了300个鸡蛋。因为我从每一个鸡蛋身上都发现了瑕疵--在蛋壳比较薄的地方，布满了细细的纹路。如果你很近地观察，就会发现任何事物都有弱点……只是早点或晚点的问题，瑕疵总有一天会变成致命的弱点.
