THE SNOW CREATURE
1954

PLOT:
Botanist Frank Parrish leads an expedition to the Himalayas to seek out new flora, accompanied by news photographer Peter Wells. When their lead guide, Subra, learns his wife has been kidnapped by a Yeti, Parrish doesn't believe him, so the sherpas commandeer the expedition at gunpoint and turn it into a search-and-rescue mission. To Parrish's surprise, they discover a whole family of Yetis in a cave, and are able to capture the male. Then they ship it to the USA for study where it escapes while customs officials are debating whether it is animal or human.
