Set in contemporary England, the film follows Doctor Brockton who learns that in the caves of the countryside, a troglodyte is alive and might be able to be helped and even domesticated. In the interest of science and the potential groundbreaking discovery of the missing link, she gets the creature to the surface. She brings it back to her lab for study, but runs into trouble as a few people oppose the presence of a monster in the town.
