The Doctor and his companion, Victoria, find themselves in the rugged and treacherous Himalayan mountains in the year 1935. The TARDIS has brought them to the isolated Det-Sen monastery, where they hope to uncover the truth behind the mysterious Abominable Snowmen that have been terrorizing the region.

Upon their arrival, the Doctor and Victoria are greeted by Padmasambhava, the High Lama of the monastery, who seems to know more about the Snowmen than he initially reveals. He warns the Doctor that the creatures are not to be trifled with, as they possess a terrifying power to control minds and souls. The Doctor, ever curious and eager to investigate, begins to suspect that there is more to this ancient legend than meets the eye.

As the Doctor and Victoria become acquainted with the monks, they discover a tension between Travers, an English explorer, and Khrisong, a young Sherpa who serves as his guide. Travers is obsessed with finding evidence of the Snowmen, hoping to prove their existence to the world. Khrisong, on the other hand, insists that such creatures are merely a myth, and that their search will lead them to danger.

Despite the warning, Travers convinces the Doctor to accompany him on an expedition to the caves where the Snowmen are rumored to reside. As they venture deeper into the icy labyrinth, they encounter a group of Yeti, the robotic servants of the Snowmen. These fearsome creatures attack the Doctor and Travers, forcing them to retreat.

Meanwhile, back at the monastery, Victoria gets to know Tashi, a young girl who has mysteriously lost her voice. Together, they stumble upon an underground cave where the Great Intelligence, the nefarious force behind the Snowmen, resides. Victoria realizes that the Great Intelligence is using the Snowmen to carry out its dark bidding, and is determined to put an end to its malevolent plans.

Victoria and Tashi manage to escape the cave and alert the Doctor to their shocking discovery. With the monastery now under siege by the advancing Yeti, the Doctor realizes that they must find a way to stop the Great Intelligence before it can unleash further chaos and destruction upon the world.

As the episode reaches its climax, the Doctor and his companions must confront the Great Intelligence in a battle of wits and willpower. With the fate of the monastery and all who reside within hanging in the balance, the Doctor must draw upon all of his knowledge and resourcefulness to outsmart their formidable adversary.

In the end, the Doctor must make a difficult decision that could alter the course of history forever. Will he be able to defeat the Great Intelligence and its legions of Snowmen? Or has the Doctor finally met his match in this remote and dangerous corner of the world?

"The Abominable Snowmen (3)" is a thrilling installment in the Doctor Who series, filled with mystery, suspense, and the timeless battle between good and evil.
