Dr. Frankenstein, daughter of the monster's creator, makes an elixir of youth using the blood of corpses, but its effect is temporary. She believes the blood of an extraordinary being like Santo will make it permanent, and to lure the wrestler she kidnaps his goddaughter Norma. He and Elsa, the young woman's aunt, go to meet the kidnappers. The doctor, once the effect of her elixir wears off, appears as a mummy, but she brings the powerful Ursus to life and subdues Santo by threatening to kill the women. But he escapes with them, and Santo exterminates his creator and destroys her laboratory.

Presented by: Archivo Fílmico Permanencia Voluntaria, a screening in memory of Guillermo Calderón.
