Santo vs. La Hija de Frankenstein is a 1972 Mexican horror film directed by Miguel M. Delgado, starring the legendary wrestler El Santo as himself. The movie is part of the long-running Santo series, which features the iconic masked wrestler fighting various monsters and villains to save the world. In Santo vs. La Hija de Frankenstein, Santo is called upon to investigate a series of strange occurrences at a local hospital. Patients are disappearing, and rumors of experiments on human subjects abound. Santo's investigation leads him to the head of the hospital, Dr. Irving Frankenstein (played by Carlos Agosti), a descendant of the infamous mad scientist.

Dr. Frankenstein is conducting experiments on his patients in an attempt to revive his daughter, who died many years earlier. His daughter, Christina (played by Gina Romand), was a brilliant scientist in her own right and helped her father with his research before her untimely demise.

Using his wrestling skills and intelligence, Santo uncovers Dr. Frankenstein's plot and fights off his henchmen, including a group of zombie wrestlers. Along the way, Santo meets Christina and sympathizes with her plight. Christina doesn't want to come back to life as a zombie but wants to be resurrected as a normal human being.

The plot thickens as Santo realizes that he has an unexpected ally, Dr. Frankenstein's assistant, Melissa (played by Anel). Melissa is secretly in love with Santo and is willing to help him in any way she can. Together, they devise a plan to save Christina and stop Dr. Frankenstein from creating an army of zombie wrestlers.
