Since earthlings refuse to stop nuclear testing, Martians are threatening to disintegrate everyone on Earth with their astral eye. To teach us a lesson, they have decided to first destroy a pacifistic nation: Mexico. They appear in the Magdalena Mixuca sports complex in Mexico City where Santo is teaching wrestling to a group of children and vaporize around a hundred people. However, the three-eyed aliens show symptoms of asphyxia that they relieve by popping special pills. They kidnap several earthlings while they figure out how to eliminate the only man who can stop them from carrying out their evil plot: Santo, the Man with the Silver Mask. Our hero then manages to snatch a Martian belt a teleporting device that allows him to sneak aboard the alien ship where his final confrontation with the invaders will take place.
