Professor Alexander Saxton (Christopher Lee) and Dr. Wells (Peter Cushing) are returning home to Europe via the Trans-Siberian Railway bringing with him a ‘fossil’ in a crate. The ‘fossil’ is the frozen remains of a primitive humanoid creature.
Mysterious deaths occur even before the train sets out. A known thief is found dead on the platform after having looked into the crate, bleeding from his eyes, which have turned blank and white. A slightly unbalanced monk (a Rasputin-esque figure, played by the Argentine actor Alberto de Mendoza), who acts as a spiritual advisor to the Count and Countess waiting to board the train, claims that the crate is evil.
