OVERVIEW

Professor Alexander Saxton, an anthropologist, is returning home to Europe via the Trans-Siberian railway with a large crate carrying the remains of a primitive humanoid creature he discovered in the Himilayas. He is sure that it represents a missing link in the evolutionary chain. Dr. Wells, Saxton's colleague, is also aboard the train.

Mysterious deaths then begin to occur. A thief is discovered dead, bleeding from the eyes, after having looked into the crate. A monk, Pujardov, claims that the crate is an omen of evil. Saxton dismisses this as nonsense and pays a baggage man to look into the crate and tell him what he sees. The baggage man does this and sees a creature with red eyes. Later, he is found dead in the crate with the humanoid creature nowhere to be seen!
