Plot
The movie starts with Zorro fencing the Three Musketeers and killing them before he fences the Man in the Iron Mask. Zorro slices the letter "Z" on the Iron Mask's shirt and tells him that he has come to put King Arthur back on the throne, shortly after this Zorro fenced with ninjas.
In the next scene, Zorro is meeting with his girlfriend and cuts his dress off, but to his shock he finds an SP for the Scarlet Pimpernel carved on her undergarments. Zorro's girlfriend insincerely says the two are just friends and that is all, but Zorro says that her honor has been insulted and this will not stand. He visits an opera house where he meets the Scarlet Pimpernel and slaps him with a glove, challenging him to a duel. The Scarlet Pimpernel dramatically grabs Zorro's shirt in response to the question, only to yell he is a coward, as he disgracefully flee the theater. Afterwards King Arthur abdicates the throne of England to Zorro as the opera house crowd cheers.
