Synopsis:
Rex joins reporter Paul Henley on a trip to the Himalayas in search of the abominable snowman. Paul locates some tracks, then is hit from behind. Meanwhile, Rex rescues a large man from a bear. The man then tries to chase Rex away. Paul recovers and spots the confrontation. He questions the man and learns that he is a hermit named Ed Farrow. Farrow has exiled himself to this remote spot and inadvertantly become the source of the abominable snowman legend. Henley convinces Farrow to return home. Rex photographs are then used in a magazine article documenting the story.
