Red Menace
A female doctor uses the body of a young playboy to insert him the brain of his teacher, an eminent physician who she loves, in order to perpetuate his life. But something goes wrong and this broken Jesus with superhuman strength escapes and hides to avoid showing his deformity. Disguised with a wrestler's mask and cape, circumstances lead him to undertake a heroic journey.
