Queen of Swords

Südkalifornien im 19. Jahrhundert. Nach dem Tod ihres Vaters ist die spanische Aristokratin Tessa Alvarado nach Santa Helena, den Ort ihrer Kindheit, zurückgekehrt. Die junge Frau muss feststellen, dass sich ihre Heimat verändert hat. Der skrupellose Militärgouverneur Colonel Luis Montoya herrscht mit eiserner Hand. Das völlig ausgeplünderte Volk steht am Rande einer Hungersnot. Tessa will Gerechtigkeit für die Unterdrückten. Hinter einer schwarzen Maske kämpft sie als "Königin der Schwerter" gegen das Unrecht und hilft den Schwachen.

In 1817, Tessa Alvarado lives by day in Southern California as a young noblewoman of wealth. At night she is the Queen of Swords, a masked protector who uses whip and sword to punish evil. She is guided by her own unnatural dreams and by the Tarot prophecy of her governess and confidante Marta, a gypsy woman with mystical powers.

Nous sommes en Californie au début du XIXème siècle. Maria Teresa Alvarado, dite Tessa, est une jeune noble espagnole qui se déguise en Zorro pour défendre les pauvres et les opprimés. Bien sûr, son identité est secrète. Elle se fait appelée la "reine des épées", en l'honneur de la carte de tarot, et se bat contre le colonel Montoya, le dirigeant corrompu du territoire qui avait assassiné son père. Tessa est guidée par des rêves surnaturels et par sa gouvernante et confidente Marta. Attention, la numérotation choisie respecte l'ordre de 1ère diffusion, pas l'ordre de production.
