Mad scientist Doctor Toicher (Mario Orea) leads a gang of graverobbers, as he needs recently deceased bodies to create life to ultimately ... rule the world of course. Thing is, his experiments fail, one after the other, and thus he decides for his creation of life to succeed he needs the heart of a superman - like world championship wrestler Santo. And when he spots Santo's best friends, soccer player Carlos (Jorge Peral) and his fiancée, singer and dancer Marta (Gina Romand), he decides he needs their perfect bodies for his experiments as well. Santo though is already on the trail of the graverobbers and thus Dr Toicher, but that doesn't deter Toicher for going after Santo and friends still, often relying a bit too heavily on the (usually ultimately under-effective) gadgets designed by his hunchback (Jesús Camacho), like a lamp emmitting a psychedelic gas, a wig and a violin string, both equipped with the power to strangle on their own, a canvas that bleeds on its own and the like. Sine all these gadgets came from the same source, this only helps Santo though ... but in the end, he and Carlos and Marta are all captured by Toicher. But as all good villains, Toicher refuses to just kill the good guy as would be reasonable, but torture him for a bit first ... but what do you know, Santo gets free, lays havoc to Toicher's lab, and ultimately Toicher, after killing his trusted hunchback, dies in one of his own contraptions.

 

Profanadores de Tumbas is in fact a very silly film: The plot doesn't make all that much sense, and is presented in a way too straight forward way, with no real highlights - and that said, the icing of the cake are really the hunchback's grotesque and ineffective killing machines, which make little sense storywise, but are nothing short of laugh-inducing, even if they could have been represented much better and given more room to. But actually, much of the film is reserved for Santo battling with villains in hand-on-hand combat, which becomes boring a bit too soon. Still, while certainly not one of the better Santo films, the wacky moments at least give the film some weird extra quality.
