Don Daredevil Rides Again

Don Daredevil Rides Again

DARING SAGA OF DANGEROUS DAYS!

NR 1951 · 167 min · ★ 8.0 · Western

Stock-footage from Republic Pictures' earlier Zorro serials was served up once again in this 12 chapter cliffhanger, this time without the financially strapped studio having to credit Zorro creator Johnston McCulley or pay any royalties. Zorro simply became "Don Daredevil" (Ken Curtis), a foppish Easterner by day turned masked avenger by night. Like his not too distant relative, Don wore his disguise in order to battle nasty Roy Barcroft who, under a forged Spanish land grant, attempts to take over the surrounding ranch land.

Directed by Fred C. Brannon · Written by Ronald Davidson
