Plot summary
Olympic skater Diane Wilson is traveling in Sweden when she meets her uncle, the geologist Dr. Wilson, who has come to help investigate what appears to be a large meteorite. His associate Dr. Erik Engström courts her, and she plays hard to get while the two of them ski, at one point grabbing his skis so that he has to walk back to the hotel. News then arrives of a herd of mutilated reindeer in Lapland, and both scientists fly north to the Arctic mountains near the crash site. To their irritation, they find Diane has stowed away on their plane.
