Summary
A woman is discovered frozen inside a glacier by miners. She is excavated and transported to a museum's ice house for study. Dr. Seastrom becomes infatuated with her, and opposes Dr. Olson and Dr. Holt's plans to remove and dissect her. Sneaking into the ice house, Seastrom names her Angelica, and becomes convinced they are destined to be with each other. Confronted by Olson, who threatens to bar Seastrom from the house, Seastrom claims she may be alive, and that they should thaw her slowly to revive her. After Olson refuses to turn the woman over to him, Seastrom strikes Olson and freezes him. After Olson disappears, Holt asks Seastrom to find a way to free the woman without damaging her body, and to keep her secret. Seastrom accepts, and requests that nobody be allowed in the room while he works on the woman. Seastrom's girlfriend spies on him coming and going from the ice house, and confronts him when he returns home. She says she thought he was cheating on her with a woman in the ice house, and laments the state of their relationship. Seastrom becomes agitated and breaks up with her. Seastrom later purchases women's clothing for the frozen woman. A police investigator becomes suspicious of Seastrom after interviewing Holt. While Seastrom is presenting the new clothes to the woman, her eyes open, but her expression remains impassive. Seastrom raises the temperature in the ice house, and the woman's enclosure of ice begins melting from the inside, and Seastrom hacks at the ice with an axe, the woman showing a shocked expression. The ice appears to fill with mist, which dissipates, leaving the ice empty. Seastrom holds a handful of melting snow in his hands as the police and other scientists appear in the ice house.
