A proto-slasher horror film that uses the novelty of 3-D to amplify the grotesque spectacle of a wax museum concealing macabre secrets and a disfigured killer's obsession.

A sculptor opens a wax museum to showcase the likenesses of famous historical figures, but quickly runs into trouble when his business partner demands the exhibits become more extreme in order to increase profits.
