Zorro (1957): 2x8

Zorro and the Flag of Truce

Capitan Briones escalates his campaign against Joaquin by ordering that a peon be whipped until he reveals the rebel’s hiding place. Zorro uses his own whip to stop Briones, then frees the peon. Shortly after, the real governor returns and Rico explains that his harsh rule was only imposed to make the capital a well-run city. Rico then convinces the governor to offer the rebel a truce so he can explain his case, planning all the while to kill Joaquin as soon as the outlaw turns himself in.
