This is quite a fun adventure story that sees the Duke of a terrorised land try to recruit the services of "Mirko" (Yves Vincent) to combat these marauding, red-caped, soldiers reputed to be the ghosts of some murdered men seeking vengeance on all. His price - well the Princess "Cristina" (Scilla Gabel) has to agree to be his wife. Needless to say, she's not too hot on the idea but luckily for her, a saviour might just have appeared in the masked guise of "Paolo" (Tony Russel). Yes, it has shades of "Zorro" to it, even down to masks offering the most meagre of disguises that even a blind person could see through; but there is plenty of action and for a change "Cristina" gets a chance to do some fighting too. The production is colourful and quickly paced and the English language dubbing no worse than in many others of the genre. Rarely seen nowadays, it's still just about worth a watch if you like the theme and aim low.
