Zorro's Black Whip, Volume 1 (Chapters 1-6)

The legendary black-clad avenger of evil returns in this action-packed serial. Lovely Crescent City newspaper editor Barbara Meredith (Linda Stirling) is actually "The Black Whip," an elusive masked figure that lashes out against the corrupt Hammond (Francis McDonald) and his fiendish band of outlaws who are determined to keep Idaho from joining the Union. She teams up with dashing undercover Federal agent Vic Gordon (George J. Lewis) in a quest to defeat the vicious sidewinders and bring statehood to Idaho. This action cliff-hanger is loaded with runaway stagecoach chases, six-gun duels, rampaging fistfights and devastating explosions as The Black Whip blazes a trail through the Old West.
