Synopsis:

Professor Saxton discovers a fossil in a cave in China. He believes it to be the "missing link" that connects humans with their ape ancestors.
He boxes it up and takes it to the train station, where a thief attempts to break into the crate. He is then killed.
Dr. Wells, Saxton's colleague, escalates things further when he hires a baggage guy to break into the crate. When he does, he is killed, and the creature inside escapes.
The ancient red-eyed staring contest winner goes around the train shoving marshmallows into people's eyes while Saxton, Wells, and Irina the Countess try and figure out the mystery. But will it be in time before the train flies off a cliff for absolutely no reason?
