Deputy Governor Frasquez is a day early, while the alcalde isn't back yet, carrying the order to capture Zorro. He decides Mendoza is unfit as acting alcalde, and appoints don Alejandro, demanding Zorro's capture by Saturday or he'll be carried in chains himself and the De la Vega hacienda taxed to bankruptcy. Tailor Miguel Martinez finds his brother was falsely accused of cattle theft and shot, so he heads for L.A. to take terminal revenge on 'the alcalde', ignoring the interim; Victoria allows him poor man's rate, free 'left over' soup and tells Alejandro is in office. Diego and Felipe hope capturing the cattle thieves may allow Frasquez to save face and return to Monterrey. Bragging about a prize bull allows Zorro to deliver thief Sanchez to jail. Alejandro revives the water supply project Luis Ramon 'transformed' into a French bath. After Diego frustrates Miguel's shooting don Alejandro, Zorro deliberately gets himself arrested- actually Miguel was planted in his costume, the real Zorro frees him during transport to Monterrey, then makes sure Ramon doesn't rescind the irrigation.
