In 1957, Walt Disney Studios adapted Johnston McCulley's Zorro character to create a wildly popular live-action television series. This volume takes viewers behind the scenes to reveal the secrets of Zorro's fencing technique and daredevil stunts. Dooley (affiliation not cited) also provides background information on lead actor Guy Williams and describes his second career playing Zorro in Argentina. Plot summaries are provided for each episode of the first two seasons as well as the four one-hour specials on Walt Disney Presents. The text is accompanied throughout by b&w photographs.
