The guide, a sherpa named Subra, seizes the expedition's guns and takes control of the team when he is unable to convince Parrish to pursue the Yeti and save his wife.

Having regained control over the expedition and successfully capturing a live Yeti, Parrish declares that he intends to bring the creature to the U.S. to study it.

It is during this delay at the airport's customs station that the snow creature manages to escape the icebox (which was apparently meant to confine him temporarily only).

The police, aided by Parrish, manage to track the Yeti through the sewer system to where the creature is caught in a net and grabbed by five men.

Another geographic improbability occurs with the return flight the main characters take, which heads west from India to California (via TWA).

Produced on a minimum budget, picture discloses an amateurish script, pedestrian direction, repetitive footage and uniformly unconvincing performances. ...

PaulLangton, as the botanist, Leslie Denison, as his assistant and Teru Shimada, as a Tibetan guide, walk through their roles in colorlessly deadpan style, as does the rest of the supporting cast.
