Four scientists work on a formula to create the human mind. Stage
magician and psychic and general do-gooder Zovek has follows their
progress telepathically ... and then they die in a airplane crash - only
Zovek, using his paranormal gifts, finds out it was just an acciedent, but
sabotage, and one of the passengers actually escaped, probably with the
formula.
Zovek visits the service for those who died in the crash, finds a few
suspicious characters, and has his sidekicks Chalo (German Valdés) and
Virginia (Nubia Marti) follow them to the hide-out of Dr Druso (José
Gálvez), the one of the scientists who has actually bailed plane before
the crash to keep the formula for himself. Chalo and Virginia are
captured, but they give Druso the idea to lure Zovek to his headquarters,
as he believes him (and his paranormal talents) to be the key to make his
formula applicable on humans. Of course, Druso's bait works and soon Zovek
is his prisoner.
Oh did I mention Druso keeps some disfigured human monsters in his
basement - failed experiments he claims, and he likes to show them off to
scare his captives ... but truth to be told, he's hardly able to keep them
in line himself. So for the finale then, when Druso wants to experiment on
Zovek's friends, Zobek frees all of Druso's monsters of course (not too
good an idea since they attack him and his friends as well ... oh, and
they are cannibals), and everything ends in a fire of course, where all
the baddies get their just desserts, and all the good guys get away
unscathed, miraculously.
Back in the day, Zovek was a popular escape artist in Mexico,
and a popular enough media persona to have a film series (that only
resulted in two films due to his untimely death) based on his public
character. This is the first of the series, an in the best sense childish
mixture of pulp horror mainstays, thrown together in a rather careless way
and framed by a feeble story - but the action is on in this one almost
throughout, and at least the monsters (including midgets, a mainstay in
Mexican genre cinema for one reason or another) show a touch of the
macabre while Zovek as a character is simply hilarious. Basically,
you'll probably laugh about this movie for all the wrong reasons, but it's
still a good laugh ...
