As the episode opens, the Doctor (played by Patrick Troughton), the Second incarnation of the time-traveling alien, and his companions, Jamie (played by Frazer Hines) and Victoria (played by Deborah Watling), are still trying to piece together the puzzle surrounding the disappearance of the Yeti, the abominable snowmen that are said to roam the Himalayas. Their investigation has brought them to the Det-Sen Monastery, where they seek the aid and knowledge of the resident monks.

Within the serene walls of the monastery, the Doctor and his companions encounter a unique group of individuals, each with their own secrets and motivations. The monks, led by the High Lama Padmasambhava, are the keepers of ancient knowledge and are well-versed in the legends and folklore surrounding the Yeti. Their assistance is crucial in deciphering the mythological significance and powers of these creatures.

However, despite the seemingly peaceful nature of the monastery, danger lurks within its walls. As the Doctor, Jamie, and Victoria delve deeper into the mystery, they uncover a web of treachery, betrayal, and hidden agendas. Suspicion falls upon everyone they encounter, and it becomes increasingly difficult for the TARDIS crew to distinguish friend from foe.

As the episode progresses, the tension rises, and the Doctor must unravel the secrets of the monastery to save himself and his companions from the clutches of those who wish to use the Yeti for their own nefarious purposes. With each revelation, the stakes grow higher, and the Doctor's resourcefulness and ingenuity are put to the test.
