A newly
married couple plan to live in an old mansion in the village of San
Angel. The groom's father is uneasy over stories of the house being
cursed as it was once a Catholic monastery, the center of a terrible
disaster. He asks Mil Mascaras to keep an eye on the house and protect
the couple. But Mil soon discovers trouble when archenemy Las Fantasma
Blanco is seen conducting secret rituals designed to raise the dead.
Mil
Mascaras is a professional Luchador [masked Mexican wrestler], the first
to wrestle at NYC's Madison Square Gardens (December, 1972). He was
born Aaron Rodríguez Arellano in 1942 and began his wrestling
career in 1965, winning numerous major awards including Mexico's D.F.
