In CSI: Crime Scene Investigation season 1 episode 9, entitled "The Chronicles: Zorro and His Double," the CSI team investigate the murder of a man who was dressed as the famous fictional character Zorro. The victim was found dead in an alley and seemingly killed by a single bullet to the head.

As the team delves deeper into the investigation, they discover that the victim was actually a local theater actor who played the role of Zorro in a live performance. The actor’s sudden death raises questions about who would want to harm him, and why would someone go through the trouble of taking his life in such a public way.

The team interviews the victim’s co-workers and family, and they soon discover that the victim had a double life. Not only was he an actor, but he was also involved in illegal activities, mainly a forged ticket scam. His accomplice was a man who looked remarkably like him, so much so that he could easily play his double on and off stage as the need arises.

The team employs various forensic methods, including examining blood spatter patterns and ballistics evidence, to piece together what happened on the night of the murder. Their investigations take them from the theater to the victim’s apartment and beyond.

As the plot unfolds, the team discovers that the victim and his accomplice’s forged ticket scam was much larger than they initially thought and the money they accumulated was also bigger.
