Tonight's Stinker: Hercules and the Masked Rider (1963)

Tonight's Stinker Hercules and the Masked Rider (1963) https://youtu.be/64zVVd29-hI?si=TTZNu7xVj8pEDdJ1 So, uh, instead of ancient Greece, it's 16th century Spain, & Hercules is not the main character.... And so I'm having trouble remembering the first third of the movie, because I was too busy trying to wrap my head around that... Okay, so, in 16th century Spain, a Duke chases some escaping serfs onto a Don's property... The Duke threatens war unless he marries the Don's daughter... Old & committed to peace, the Don capitulates... However, a soldier betrothed to the Dona returns the next day, quickly learns the truth, gets exiled, & falls in with some gypsies, & becomes the masked rider.... A bad film print, ripped from a bad VHS, & the dubbing gets grating at times....
