An international crime syndicate wants to bring down the entire Latin-American economy by flooding the market with ... real money, illegally manufactured by authentic printing plates - while the syndicate has also seen to it that the plates the mint is using are actually forged. Super secret agents Santo the masked wrestler and womanizer Jorge Rubio (Jorge Rivero) are called in to investigate, but they have no clue where to begin. It's a good thing then that the agents of the syndicate - who all wear welded-wristwatches that also serve as two-way radios and explosive devices - try to kill Santo and Jorge in assassination attempt after assassination attempt, but fail miserably. So the hardly noticable trail to the baddies turns more and more into a well-til road. At one point, Ruth (Elizabeth Campbell), the female regional leader of the syndicate tries to lure Jorge into an ambush herself ... but then she falls in love with him.

Ultimately, Santo and Jorge manage to retrieve one of the syndicate's wristwatches from one of their agents and let it guide them to the baddies' headquarters, where all the villains are killed in a big shootout, all but the syndicate's supreme leader (Miguel Gómez Checa), who manages to escape to return in the sequel El Tesoro de Moctezuma. Ruth on the other hand dies confessing once more her undying love for Jorge ...

 

Ok, this is not a movie to be taken too seriously, after all it's about a masked wrestler moonlighting as a secret agent and a totally weird plan to take over the world by bringing down the Latin-American economy - basically, the film is the economy-version of a James Bond-film, also borrowing heavily from the serials of old. However, you don't really watch a film like this for its story, rich characters and the like, rather for its hokey action scenes, campy outfits and sets, and fun retro-futuristic inventions and pulp mainstays. And as a blend of all of this, Operación 67 is quite simply a hoot. Nothing great of course, just perfect (if a tad brainless) retro-entertainment.
