1906: In the Icy caves of Northern China, Professor Alexander Saxton (Christopher Lee) makes a remarkable discovery that could change the history of mankind! He boards the Trans-Siberian Express with his chief rival, Dr. Wells (Peter Cushing) and his new discovery - a frozen creature believed to be the missing link in the evolution chain - locked safely in a large wooden crate. Desperate for a look at the new discovery, Dr. Wells pays a clerk to drill a peephole into the locked crate. After the clerk disappears, everyone gets a look inside the crate containing the frozen creature, but all they find is the dead clerk. The hunt for the deadly monster now begins as more and more dead bodies begin to pile up; Saxton and Wells must race to find the creature's weakness before it's too late, but how do you kill something that's been living forcenturies?
