''Cruz Diablo'' is a [[TheGreatDepression 1934]] Mexican {{Swashbuckler}} film directed by Fernando de Fuentes and written by Vicente Oroná.
In New Spain, lands of America, [[TheCavalierYears in the times]] of [[UsefulNotes/KingdomOfSpain the King]] in whose domain the Sun never set, roams Cruz Diablo, a masked Robin Hood-type hero that marks his victims with a cross on the forehead, hence the name. The story follows Carlos (Juan José Martínez Casado), captain of the Viceroy's soldiers, lover of Marcela (Lupita Gallardo), the daughter of Diego de la Barrera, Count of Luna (Ramón Pereda).
Diego de la Barrera has decided to marry his daughter to the Marquis Pedro of Florida, and so Carlos and his soldiers scort her carriage to the wedding. On the way they have to cross the Sierra Negra, a dangerous hilly area where they get stopped by Chacho (Vicente Oroná), leader of a gang of bandits who order Carlos' convoy to hand over their guns and belongings. Carlos, with no other option, complies on the condition that they let the carriage safely across the land until they reach the palace of the Count of Luna. Chacho accepts but after discovering Marcela in the carriage betrays his word and kidnaps her, ordering Carlos to continue with the carriage and dispersing his soldiers.
Alone and worried for Marcela continue Carlos and his mother Marta (Rosita Arriaga) until they get stopped by Cruz Diablo, who persuades Carlos into not calling the army and instead goes himself to Chacho to retrieve her. Safe and sound, Marcela and the rest make it to the Palace ready for the ceremony. Carlos here finds Malvina (Matilde Brillasa), his former love interest and a person close to the Count of Luna, who's jealous Carlos is now dating Marcela. Inside Marcela finds out the Marquis of Florida is a DirtyOldMan that she's being forced to marry. After a short ball, Marcela sits in her room talking to Marta when Carlos breaks in to tell her he'll save her. Unfortunately, Malvina is eavesdropping on her and quickly tells the Count of Luna, who catches them, sending Carlos to the dungeon and locks Marcela in Malvina's room. This makes Marta threaten to reveal his murder of the actual Count of Luna, prompting him to send her to the dungeon too. All this while a mysterious man who lives in the walls of the palace called Nostromus (Julián Soler) spies on them.
Huge emphasis was put on hiding the identity of Cruz Diablo when advertising the movie, inviting viewers to play a guessing game. The success of this movie caused a surge in {{Swashbuckler}} movies set in New Spain such as Gabriel Soria's ''Martin Garatuza'' (1935).
