A visually stunning German Expressionist anthology where a poet's fevered imagination transforms wax museum figures into nightmarish historical tales, framed by a tender romance emerging from shared fantasy.

A poet is hired by the owner of a wax museum in a circus to write tales about Harun al Raschid, Ivan the Terrible and Jack the Ripper. While writing, the poet and the daughter of the owner, Eva, fantasize the fantastic stories and fall in love for each other.
