That same evening, a ape-like man climbs into Narda's room and abducts her. The kidnapper Nanuk takes her to a laboratory hidden inside a mountain, and brings her before Dr Knox. She is taken further to a room where the beautiful young women who have disappeared in recent times are located. To her horror, she finds out that they are now part of Dr Knox's experiment.
