An evil ruler uses witchcraft and evil spirits to keep his subjects in line, but the his reign of terror prompts the people to revolt.
This film is proof that Paul Naschy has not yet reached the level of horror icon that he so richly deserves. Despite starring in this excellent film, you will not likely be able to find much about it online. No Wikipedia page, for example. And when Scream! released it on Blu in 2017, it came without commentary. Luckily, it does have a section in their booklet.
It is with high hopes that Scream releases a third Naschy collection. I do not understand the business end -- the costs of rights and how many copies would need to be sold to make it worthwhile. But I think what they are doing here is more than selling a product. They are preserving a legacy.
