Some things are better left undisturbed. Such things as sleeping dogs and the remains of a female shaman, discovered in a sacred urn during an archeological dig at the Teso Dos Bichos site in South America. But some people never learn. Dr Roosevelt (Alan Robertson), the leader of the expedition, insists that the urn be transported back to the States. It will come as no surprise to learn that Roosevelt meets his lurid end later that evening courtesy of a strange jaguar spirit form. Other sightings of the spirit start Mulder and Scully down a visceral path that leads to the feline foe. But what kind of cat is it?
