Summary
The three episodes of Waxworks are united by the character of a young poet, who is hired by the owner of a wax museum to create backstories for a trio of the museum2s figures. The stories with leading actors of Weimar cinema are depicted successively, the poet casting himself together with the daughter of the wax museum's owner at the center of each tale. Though the poet and the daughter play different characters every time, they are always lovers threatened by an animated wax figure tyrant
