Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta (September 23, 1917 – February 5, 1984), more widely known as El Santo (the Saint), was a Mexican Luchador enmascarado (Spanish for masked professional wrestler), film actor, and folk icon. El Santo, along with Blue Demon and Mil Máscaras, is one of the most famous and iconic of all Mexican luchadores, and has been referred to as one of "the greatest legends in Mexican sports" His wrestling career spanned nearly five decades, during which he became a folk hero and a symbol of justice for the common man through his appearances in comic books and movies. He is said to have popularized professional wrestling in Mexico just as Rikidozan did in Japan. Guzmán's son followed him into wrestling as El Hijo del Santo, or 'Son of Santo'.
Born in Tulancingo in the Mexican state of Hidalgo, to Jesús Guzmán Campuzano and Josefina Huerta (Márquez) de Guzmán as the fifth of seven children, Rodolfo came to Mexico City in the 1920s, where his family settled in the Tepito neighbourhood. He practiced baseball and American football, and then became interested in wrestling. He first learned Ju-Jitsu, then classical wrestling.

Plot: Santo and Pal left South America in search of the American dream. They were smuggled into Mexico on a "bluff truck". Both took a job in a scrap metal plant in Escobedo, Mexico where they managed to save a bit of money in hopes of making their way into the United States. In Escobedo, there was a figure known as "The Ghost". He was the go to source for those who wished to cross the border. However, there was a price to pay. He was known to be ruthless and would often allow people to give him a down payment to get into America, with a promise to send the remainder, plus interest. Santo and Pal desperately wanted a way into America and sought out "The Ghost". They had enough for a down payment and figured that once in America, they'd get well paying jobs. Smuggled in an airplane parts truck and dumped off at a truck stop near Houston, they hitchhiked and jumped trains eventually making it to the northeast. The film begins in a rundown apartment in Bridgeport, CT where Santo and Pal are awakened by a video camera and gun. X, hired by "The Ghost", takes Santo and Pal hostage and explains that he is there to collect their payment, with interest. Not having the money, Santo and Pal are terrified. X tells them that if they are willing to make a little film, it will help alleviate their debt. In an act of desperation, they agree.

dicen que tu eres como el mismo diablo
que tenga cuidado por que eres muy malo
dicen que tu engañas a las que te aman
dicen que tu tienes muy negra tu alma
ay si supieran, ay si supieran
dicen que tu me concederas deseos
pero que al final me quemare en tu fuego
y que si de plano tu me has poseido
lo que necesito es pronto un exorcismo
ay si supieran, ay si supieran(x2)
que tu junto a mi eres un alma de dios
tu me has hecho milagros de amor
tu eres un santo
me has rogado tanto como un magdaleno
me lavas los pies te sigues con mi cuerpo
si caes de rodillas me cubres de besos
me adoras, me adoras y no me abandonas (x2)
tu eres un santo
Santo, santo, santo, santo (x2)
dicen que tu eres peor que el mismo diablo
que estar a tu lado eso seria un pecado
y que si me ofreces la fruta prohibida
debo rechazarla a costa de mi vida
ay si supieran, ay si supieran(x2)
que tu junto a mi eres un alma de dios
de mi corazon redentor
tu que eres bueno, muy bueno
mas bueno que el pan
si hiciste pecados fuiste perdonado
por amarme tanto creo en los milagros
por que si tu existes dios es tan grandioso
me adoras, me adoras y no me abandonas (x2)
tu eres un santo
Santo, santo, santo, santo (x2)
por que desde que te conosco rezo como no rezaba
pido a dios que te conserve tan perfecto en cuerpo y alma
y si un dia llega la muerte y por desgracia nos separa
sere buena, sere pura, sera santa, sere todo eso que dios manda
para que me lleve contigo a donde quiera que tu vayas
sea el cielo sea el infierno, dios sabe cuanto te quiero
Santo, santo, santo, santo (x4)
