By the time Disney introduced his "Zorro" television series in October of 1957, the Johnston McCulley character from his 1919 story "The Curse of Capistrano" had already appeared in 4 feature films and 5 film serials. Disney's wildly popular children's series starred Guy Williams as the masked swordsman Don Diego de la Vega and ran for 2 seasons (78 episodes) and only ended because of ongoing financial disputes between Disney and the ABC network.

Two film compilations from the television series were made for theatrical release, 1958's "The Sign of Zorro, " which was edited from 8 episodes of the series, and 1959's "Zorro the Avenger" edited from 6 episodes. In 1960 and 1961 Disney created 4 new hour-long episodes which aired on the "Disney anthology television series" (at the time titled "Disneyland").
