While the first act takes place in an undisclosed Himalayan country (presumably bordering India) the actors portraying the locals speak Japanese. The movie starts with a scientific expedition intent on collecting botanical samples, led by Dr. Frank Parrish (Paul Langton) and encounters difficulties when the wife of the expedition’s chief guide is kidnapped. The guide, a sherpa named Subra (played by Teru Shimada), 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. Parrish, a man of science, is skeptical of the Yeti’s existence, put is forced to participate in Subra’s march. Along with his fellow westerner (a photographer named Peter Wells, played by Leslie Denison), Parrish awaits his opportunity to overthrow the renegade sherpa. However, as the team draws closer to the Yeti, evidence emerges that begins to change Parrish’s opinion regarding the creature’s existence (such as the tell-tale „giant footprints”). Finally, the team makes contact with the snow creature, who hurls stones at them from atop his mountain refuge.
The expedition tracks the creature to his cave, where they encounter the creature, along with two other Yeti’s – a female and young one. The team also discover Subra’s wife, who is guarded jealously by the snow creature. Parrish forcibly prevents the enraged Subra from shooting the Yeti, reasoning that the creature is more valuable for science alive. This delays the capture long enough to enable the creature to create a cave-in (presumably to keep his family safe from the humans). However, the cave-in works against the Yeti, killing the female and young Yetis and knocking the snow creature himself unconscious. The cave-in also enables Parrish and Wells to take control of the sherpa’s guns. Having regained control over the expedition, and successfully capturing a live Yeti, Parrish declares that he is intent upon bringing the creature to the U.S. where it will be studied.
The Yeti is eventually sedated and placed in a telephone booth-sized freezer. Trapped inside this icebox, the Yeti is transported to Bombay to be flown to California. In an odd geographic twist, the return flight heads west from India to California (via TWA) — beginning the second act. Upon reaching Los Angeles, Parrish is greeted by reporters who have been made aware of the creature’s existence. A U.S. Customs official informs Parrish that the admission of this creature to the U.S. has been made difficult by a newspaper article published by Peter Wells that refers to the creature using the term „man”. The issue is raised whether the snow-creature is actually human and the officials decide to keep the creature in quarantine until an anthropologist can determine the question of the creature’s humanity. It is during this delay at the airport’s customs station that the snow creature manages to escape the ice box (which was apparently meant to confine him temporarily only). The snow creature roams the city, terrorizing a woman and finding refuge in the cool temperature of the city’s sewers as well as meat-lockers (where it can also feed).
The police, aided by Parrish, manage to track the Yeti through the sewer system and, where the creature is caught in a roap mesh and grabbed by 5 men. As the creature resists it starts to choke one of the men through the mesh. One of the men shoots the creature once who then stops choking the man. There’s a pause after the choked man had been released and then the man with the gun decides to shoot the rare creature with two more slugs just for good measure. Thus, one of the greatest finds of all time is dead.

Subrah was right, The Yeti kidnapped his beloved wife; and this idiot Doctor didn't keep Faith with those helping him!
Glad to see public officials wearing a full suit to roam around the sewers at nite
The music is by Manuel Compinsky. His score in this movie was also used in the American 1958 version of Half Human the U.S. Version.
Sequel: Yeti Burgers At Venice Beach
For such a cheesy low budget movie the Himalayan mountain scenes are pretty impressive! I wish someone with some merit would remake this movie with a much more believable yeti.
If you like snow you'll love this, thank you.
Love these flicks!
One thing about old movies, the beast always carries the woman away. Why? It's stupid.
I love great old flicks! This flick is… not great.

I LOVE THESE MOVIES.
The most good-natured and innocent of the crew abandoned on the planet shouting in the darkness, "Don't leave me! DON"T LEAVE ME!"
大変だ!!大変だ!! タラヤンがヤッケにさらわれた！と

Who, upon making a discovery like that, and capturing it alive, would have entrusted its care to political officials, a cargo plane and crew, while the discoverer flew on another plane, to customs workers, and to a host of other, people? Anybody, with any practical sense, would not have let it out of his sight, or at least, had a well trusted party, stayed with it when the discoverer had to leave it.
I wonder where the creature got the Russian yushanka. This is a pretty good watch, but some dumb scenarios.
Seen Bigfoot twice. First time when we were leaving camp on a beer run. Second time was on the way back to camp and we would’ve got him to except for when we stopped to get out of the truck all the beer cans fell out and he ran off
This actually could have been a good frightening movie if they had done it right. It’s main flaw is how casually and man-like the creature strolls around. Like a regular guy with a lot of hair casually walking around. Not lurking, hiding, preying, hulking or threatening
You're❤ never alone… there are plenty of Us out there
Yelling for Police in the meat locker! HA !!!
Saw this on tcm
Suggesting that a white man’s wife is more important than a Sherpa’s wife?
Nice guys! Not even remotely concerned for the guide’s wife!
grew up with old black and white movies and they are still the best
These old B&W better use of diialogue and movie angles. There use of shadow is fantastic. I really like their classic use of facial emotions.
Qood show
It’s a good movie but the abominable snowman looks like a mummy in the posters and in the movie and also you may hear when the abominable snowman gets Tala or Thala whatever you pronounce it at 6:54
Her scream is from Godzilla! King Of the monsters which came out 2 years later when Godzilla sees people near a building and lights them on fire. This is Planetary films but that U.S. cut of Godzilla 1956 is TransWorld releasing corp
Por favor con subtítulos en castellano. Gracias
take a shot every time they reuse the footage of the creature stepping forward and stepping backwards. i think even the most hard core drinkers would be feeling no pain by the end of this one!🤣🤣🤣 but i love these old movies! thanks for posting!
Man creature dressed in rags and a tour of some storm drains.
I want to see the snow creature fight the sea creature.
I loved the one with Forrest Tucker filmed in the Pyranees : I think the title was "The Abominable Snowman." So got my popcorn out for this one!
Who else finds these old films fascinating?? I find them to be a breath of fresh air. Corny, yes, but better than what Hollywood puts out now. I remember watching the 3 O'Clock show after school. Always a scary show, sure to give way to nightmares. I miss those days……
That Lockheed Constellation was one of the most beautiful planes ever built.
Fun Facts:
– Wilhelm "W. Lee" Wilder was the older brother of Billy Wilder (who was born Samuel Wilder; as kids they were called Willy and Billy).
– Myles Wilder, the screenwriter, went on to write and produce Lancelot Link, Secret chimp and The Dukes Of Hazzard (look it up).
58:24 Bad lazy street sweeper.
We have a heat wave going here 100+ in the South and watching this snow storm is making me cold..lol I wish..😅
$hittiest yeti suit ever.
Should have brought the snowman across the boarder with Mexico. No problems with the INS.
Indestructible Man, Them, now this movie. American sewers should be proud.
Am I wrong or are the Tibetan/Himalayan guides speaking Japanese?
Saturday Afternoon “ Creature Feature.” Excellent Movie
I 1st saw this movie in 1954 when I was in the 1st grade
