Four
men kidnap Vicky Taylor, daughter of a rich industrialist. When the
police fail to find clues, two journalists decide to investigate on
their own. Meanwhile, masked superhero White Zorro finds the secret
hideout and rescues Vicky. After placing her securely in the Taylor
mansion bedroom, he escapes from the balcony and disappears in the night.
As it turns out, Zorro is - in fact - a multimillionaire named Gaston
(obvious similarities to Bruce Wayne and Batman) who is engaged
to Vicky [and no, she did not recognize him during her rescue]. Gaston
soon discovers a devious plot to harm his girlfriend Vicky, seemingly
linked to her father.
The
breakout film for actor Juan Miranda was Meche Carreno's controversial
movie BLOOD
ENEMY [he played Sergio, the retarded brother seduced by his
sister]. He later became a popular matinee idol, starring in numerous
genre actioners, many with 'whip' themes [ie., THE
WHIP
(Latigo), THE
WHIP VS SATAN and THE
WHIP VS THE KILLER MUMMIES]. Mr Miranda retired from motion
pictures in 1989 and died 20 years later from a a heart attack at age
68, July 2009.
