Santo Vs. Nazis

 

 (imdb)

SANTO EN ANONIMO MORTAL-(ANONYMOUS DEATH THREAT)-1972-When a jeweler is fatally shot and real estate agent pushed off a roof, Inspector Ponce (Armando Silvertre) is stumped. They both received notes they were going to be killed. Mario Gaos (Xaiver Masse) is worried. He received a note too. His wife wants to call the police but Gaos decides the only person who can help him is Mexico's number one wrestling crime fighter, the one and only El Santo (himself). And no sooner is his name spoken than we see him in the squared circle in a pretty rough match. After the match, he is visited by Gaos. Santo promises to guard Gaos night and day with the help of his two cohorts Pablo (Georgio Casal) and Yvette (Tere Velazquez). At work, a window washer slips into Gaos' office. He and Yvette fight. A bomb the window washer discreetly left in Gaos' office explodes, killing him. The murderer gets away.

 Later Ponce and his assistant Rocha (Raymundo Capetello) share clues with Santo then visit a guy named Henkel (Ivan J. Rado) who claims to have received a death letter and is very evasive about his involvement in WW 2. At night Santo wrestles an ordinary looking grappler called "El Nazi" (Ignacio Gomez). In the audience, a guy wearing a swastika armband and toting a rifle tries to kill our hero (no one in the crowd seems to notice him) but he misses and kills the opponent. Afterwards, Gaos' widow, Ester (Sasha Montenegro) receives a phone call saying she must kill Santo. She tries to give him a poisoned drink but the police call to tell Santo that even though Gaos was blown up, he was also slowly being poisoned to death (?). Santo goes to a warehouse to meet Henkel and is attacked by 3 guys with swastika armbands. Santo gets the better of them. Of course, Henkel is actually Von Struber, a war criminal heading a neo-Nazi party (with Gaos' wife) who escaped justice and is getting revenge on the people who testified against him! 

This isn't bad for a non-horror Santo movie. It was directed by Aldo Monti, who as an actor played Dracula twice in two other Santo movies, SANTO IN THE TREASURE OF DRACULA (1969) and SANTO AND THE BLUE DEMON VS. DRACULA AND THE WOLFMAN (1973).
