A 1940s mystery-thriller built around a creepy wax museum setting where danger and deception lurk behind artificial facades, balancing genuine suspense with the comedic relief typical of the era's Charlie Chan films.

A wax museum run by a demented doctor contains statues of such crime figures as Jack the Ripper and Bluebeard. In addition to making wax statues the doctor performs plastic surgery. It is here that an arch fiend takes refuge.
