The Wrestling Women (Elizabeth Campbell as Golden Ruby, & Lorena
Velazquez, now called Loretta Venus - instead of Gloria
Venus) are back, and not a moment too soon, 'cause an evil oriental villain,
the Black Dragon, is ... well, being evil. & to that end he needs some Aztec treasure,
the plans for which are in the hands of a group of professors. The Black
Dragon sees to it though that the numbers of this group are swiftly
decreasing until only professor Tracy is left. But he, along with
Charlotta, a fellow scientist's daughter, teams up with the wrestling
women & their cop-boyfriends (Armando Silvestre, Cucho Salinas)
& decides to divide the treasure-map into 3 parts to divide among
the girls, the cops & Charlotta (okay, so they are actually
five & not three - I didn't quite figure that one out myself, but so
what).
The Black Dragon though soon manages to bring Charlotta under his
hypnotic spell & to place a camera in the professor's apartment, the
meeting point of the group, so it's easy for him to get actually 2 of
the map's three parts. For the final part though, he has this crazy
& ingenious idea that villains only have in Mexican wrestling movies
- he challenges the wrestling women to fight his judo-fighting sisters
in an public wrestling-bout, winner takes all (meaning the map).
Of
course, our girls win, & the Black Dragon keeps his word to give
them the map, but manages to escape a trap set by the police to arrest
him. And, he still has the camera in the professor's apartment, which
keeps him informed about the progress of the gang's treasure hunt. The
Aztec treasure, as it turns out, is the necklace of an Aztec princess
lying buried in an Aztec pyramid. But Legend has it the princess &
her necklace are guarded by a mummy which, coincidently, is also Aztec.
Little do our treasurehunters know that this mummy actually comes to
life, when the necklace is taken away - & it does, too. Our heroes
escape the mummy, if just, & when the mummy later turns up at their
place, the Black Dragon's gang has decided to do so, too, only to be
eliminated by the mummy, which is only kept from killing our gang, too,
by sunrise (obviously bedtime for mummies).
Charlotta now decides to
take the fate of all of them into her own hands & bring the necklace
back to the Aztec pyramid, but for some reason does not manage to get
out of there before sundown, & is so attacked by the mummy (which by
the way can also turn into a bat or a spider) & prepared for sacrifice.
In the nick of time, the wrestling women, the coppers & the
professor can save her, the mummy is buried under the debris of a
collapsing ceiling inside the pyramid. This sequel to Doctor
of Doom/Las Luchadoras contra el
Medico Asesino is definitely an improvement over the first movie,
adding a large portion of mystery (in form of both the mummy and the yellow
peril) to the ringside & crimefighting proceedings. This still
doesn't make it a veritable classic of the horror-genre, though, but -
pretty much like Doctor of Doom -
crazy, mindless fun. And that's not the worst thing to be said about a
movie, now is it.
