No tiene nada que ver con el “Santo, el enmascarado de plata” que todos conocemos, se jugaba durante todo su metraje con la verdadera identidad del héroe, que en este caso se llamaba “El Médico”. Pues bien, durante “El enmascarado de plata” veremos como dos reporteros no pararan de aparecer justo después de que “El Médico” haya realizado alguna proeza y haya salido de escena, colocándolos como los dos únicos sospechosos de ser el hombre que se oculta tras la máscara.

Vanessa, a television reporter covering a story of a farmer attacked by his chickens, discovers that this is not an isolated incident. Travelling to Spain with her cameraman Peter, the two discover the survivors of a town wiped out by the birds thirty years ago. Meanwhile, attacks continue as a child's birthday party ends in tragedy and doves devour a poultry farmer and his wife. Vanessa soon comes to the conclusion that the birds are organizing themselves against the ecological ravages of man, but time is running out as thousands of birds launch an attack against a train Vanessa is traveling on.
