The Coyote (Spanish: El coyote) is a 1955 Mexican-Spanish western film directed by Joaquín Luis Romero Marchent and Fernando Soler and starring Abel Salazar, Gloria Marín and Manuel Monroy.

Plot
In 1848, the dandy-like Cesar de Echague returned to California from the east of the continent. He finds conditions that oppress his Mexican compatriots and only pursue American interests. A rebellion carried out by the inhabitants was bloodily put down; the leaders imprisoned.
During the day, César remains the gentleman he portrays to polite society; At night, however, he becomes a black-masked bandit who sides with the oppressed, and just like Zorro, he leads the insurgents towards their goal: fighting and defeating the oppressors, embodied by the officer of the Northern States, Captain Pots.
