Monastario forces the hapless Sergeant Garcia to accept the blame for the woes of the night before.

It looks bad for Torres when a renegade Indian tells the capitan that the fugitive is hiding at the monastery.

Diego and Bernardo's peaceful ride to check on Torres is interrupted when Monastario races past them with a patrol of lancers .

At the mission, Padre Felipe and Torres are relaxing outside, unaware that the soldiers are almost there.

Luckily for Torrres, one of the mission Indians spots the approaching patrol and sounds the bell to alert him.

Monastario is visibly frustrated to learn that he cannot remove Torrres from the protection of the church.

While the capitan plots his next move, Diego tells Torres that his family is safe for the time being.

A commotion develops outside when Garcia, unhappily acting under orders, forces the Indians to stop harvesting the orange crop.

Monastario reveals his new plan, forcing the Indians to build a useless road under harsh conditions, hoping that Torres will surrender instead of watching them suffer.

A dispirited Padre Felipe is left alone to salvage the mission's vital crop before it is lost to cold weather that night.

Diego tells Bernardo to go back to the cave and to return with Tornado in two hours.

Diego and Padre Felipe can only watch in sorrow and frustration as the Indians are forced to work on the road.

Diego agrees to tell Torres of Monastario's threat to begin whipping the Indians if he does not surrender.

Meanwhile, the Indians are being forced to move massive boulders with only primitive tools and their bare hands.

Heedful of the padre's earlier admonition, Monastario stops to remove his hat and make a donation to the poor as he enters the church.

Diego delays Monastario by playing a series of songs on the organ while Torres prays for guidance.

Furious to learn that several Indians have escaped, Monastario tells Torres what happens next is his fault.

Unable to stop it, the men watch as the soldiers beat the helpless Indians.

One particularly brutal guard seems to enjoy whipping the prisoners.

Unable to watch any longer, Torres decides to surrender.

Just then Zorro arrives on the scene, for Diego had slipped away in the confusion. He then engages Monastario in a fierce battle as both men use whips while on horseback.

Monastario is defeated yet again, and Zorro rides victoriously into the night.
