The Phantom of Santa Fe

Ruthless bandits attack Mission Guadalupe and loot its priceless treasures, murdering any who dare to oppose them. Suspected is a mysterious outlaw known only as "The Phantom Of Santa Fe." The authorities are unaware that foppish dandy Miguel Morago is, in reality, "The Phantom." Miguel dons his mask one more time, determined to hunt down the real thieves and return the holy treasures to the church.

Originally filmed as The Hawk, this 1931 color production features splendid location photography, and excellent action sequences. Starting as a bit player, beautiful Carmelita Geraghty rose to stardom in the silent era, but her career faltered with the advent of sound. In 1936 the Burroughs-Tarzan company rereleased this film as The Phantom of Santa Fe.
