To revive his deceased wife he keeps in deep freeze, evil Frankenstein
Jorge Russek, abducts young girls to try out some
brain-transplantation-experiments - Unfortunately with little success,
as they only turn into mindless zombies with a predilection for
murdering their next of kin (?!). Soon though, the scientist concludes
he needs Santo for brain transplantation purposes (!?), & in order
to lure him into a trap he abducts the daughter of our wrestler's
deceased master, who Santo & Blue Demon brought up. Of course, Santo
falls into that trap - even willingly - & ends up on an operating
table, from which he is saved by Blue Demon in - literally - the last
minute.
Our 2 masked wrestling herose now turn the tables on the mad
scientist & his gang, smash his lab, free the girl & capture
most of Frankenstein's minions, but unfortunately the doc himself
escapes.
To avenge himself, he now has his invincible creature Golem
fight Santo in the ring, a fight even Santo cannot win. But Blue Demon
finds out the secret of the mysterious masked wrestler Golem & his
equally masked manager (Frankenstein), & our wrestling heroes manage
to turn the tables again & after fighting the 2 villains on a
catwalk high above the ground, they throw them down to their certain
deaths.
Yes, I am a sucker for these Mexican masked wrestler movies, but this
is definitely not one of the better Santo-horrors. Especially in the
first half, the pace is way too slow, with too much talk
overcomplicating the silly story & not enough action, even long
scenes without any wrestler at all, & the story has many subplots
thrown in at will, that are just introduced to take up some time &
then abandoned altogether (for example, Santo & Blue Demon are
briefly teamed up with 2 female detectives who are long gone from the
plot before anything exciting happens, & Frankenstein hires 2 brain
surgeons who are just introduced to the audience but never brought back
at all). Still, a movie that has Santo & Blue Demon in suit & tie
but wearing their traditional masks wrestling down some thugs has at least
something to go for it.
