THE MUMMIES OF GUANAJUATO-1972-After a too long travelogue intro, Panguino, a little person guide shows a group a bunch of mummies. One called Satan is dressed like a Mexican luchador. Panguino tells the story of how the original El Santo beat Satan in a wrestling match and the heel swore vengeance. After the group leaves Panguino thinks he sees Satan's hand move and he faints. He ten has a dream the mummies are attacking him. After the caretaker wakes him up, he tells his friends Lina and Alicia about the incident. They don't believe him so the trio go back to the tomb and convince the caretaker to let them in. When they get to the mummy display they find Satan missing! They hightail it to a wrestling arena where famous luchadors Blue Demon and Mil Mascaras wrestling. Fortunately Lina is Mil's girlfriend and they all discuss what happened. Mil and Panguino go to investigate and Blue Demon is knocked out by Satan who remembers his fight with Santo (Satan isn't a mummy apparently and wears a red mask). Satan kills a night watchman (the director) and an old man. Two lovebirds witness the last event but the police don't believe them. After Satan kills Panguino, Lina and Alicia, along with Demon's adopted son Julito stay at Mil's house. Blue Demon is once again knocked out by Satan who steals BD's wrestling gear and gives it to his mummy pal who kills two people with the real wrestler getting the blame. Two mummies break into Mil's house and kill Alicia and kidnap Lina.
While Mil and Demon are out looking for mummies, Julito is kidnapped (he was hiding in the trunk of their car). El Santo and his manager happen to stop in Guanajuato and are attacked by mummies. They fend them off but the mummies terrorize and kill the town's populace. Santo tries to fight the mummy horde single handedly but has little success so he and his manager drive away! He meets up with Mil and Demon and they take on the mummies not too successfully until Mil gets some flame guns from Santo's car and kills them.
There's lots of plot holes and long stretches of talk. This color triple hero adventure (which most fans think is the best) could have been better.
Thanks for reading!
