Federico Curiel directed this Santo adventure, pitting the heroic wrestler (Rodolfo Guzman Huerta) against a mad scientist named Dr. Zuko, who uses a Frankenstein-like monster to battle the silver-masked avenger. Like many low-budget Mexican films of its time, it was filmed in three short segments to get around regulations imposed by the government and unions regarding the making of feature films. Fernando Casanova stars with Ana Bertha Lepe and Luis Aceves Castaneda. The wrestling superhero returned in Santo contra el Rey del Crimen the same year. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

This typical Mexican tortilla Western about a "charro" or cowboy from south of the border has more Hollywood-style touches than usual. The valiant hero (Pedro Armendariz) carries his two six-shooters wherever he goes and wears his ten-gallon sombrero like a Latin John Wayne. He has a trusty sidekick who will break into song now and again, but is equally armed in case danger rides into town. In-between fighting for justice, the ~charros~ get to watch a small-town beauty contest which adds a light intermission to the proceedings. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
