How would you feel if the most famous luchador of all time actually stopped and smiled at you? Find out what happens to Carlitos when The Man in the Silver Mask–a man he’s never seen before in his whole life–turns and does that very thing to him. Kids–of all ages–are drawn to the allure of lucha libre and its masked men and women.
