Man Beast 1956

Connie Hayward and Trevor Hudson travel to the Himalayas with a guide named Steve Cameron to locate Connie’s missing brother, who disappeared in that region while on an earlier expedition looking for the Abominable Snowman. Together with Dr. Eric Erickson, they manage to locate her brother’s camp, but it is abandoned, except for a mysterious native guide named Varga who attempts to befriend them.

The group is attacked by the snowmen, and tensions rise as Varga is revealed to be secretly working against the expedition. Hudson falls off a cliff while being chased by a yeti, and Dr. Erickson is lured into a cave by Varga, who shoots him dead.

When most of the party is dead, Varga reveals his plan: he is a fifth-generation descendant of the Yeti who has spent decades kidnapping human women to breed with the male snowmen in an attempt to eventually wipe out the yeti strain from their DNA. He intends to kidnap Connie and mate with her, so that their progeny will be another step closer to being human.

Steve comes to Connie’s rescue and knocks Varga unconscious. The two allies attempt to descend the mountain together, but a rope slips from its mooring. Varga falls to his death, and Connie and Steve – now in love – make their way back to civilization.
