The Poet and the girl flee but always find that they can't escape Spring-Heeled Jack through the dark, twisted halls of the museum. Spring-Heeled Jack stalks both the poet and the waxwork owner's daughter. Two near-newly weds (Dieterle and Belajeff) have their wedding interrupted by Ivan the Terrible who takes a liking to the girl and has her abducted to his lair.Īfter the poet finishes the last two stories, he wakes up to find that the wax model of Jack the Ripper has come to life, but it is recognized instead to be Spring-heeled Jack. The second episode deals with the Czar of Russia, Ivan the Terrible. After this, they come to an agreement where Assad becomes the official baker for Al-Rashid. The guards rush in arrest Assad but Assad's wife uses the Wishing ring to make Al-Rashid "appear" as he secretly comes out of the oven. The returning Assad penetrates by force into the locked house, while Maimune hides Al-Rashid in the baking-oven. Meanwhile, Al-Rashid tries to impress Assad's wife. While the Al-Rashid visits the bakery that night, Assad robs the wishing ring off the wax figurine of Al-Rashid by slicing the arm of the figurine, and is spotted by his guards and is chased out of the palace. Assad then says he will rob Al-Rashid's wishing ring to solve their problems. When he steals away from his castle, the ruler witnesses an argument between the jealous Assad and Maimune, who both seem dissatisfied with their poverty-laden life. Al-Rashid then resolves to go out that night, incognito, and visit the beauty. After being captivated by her beauty and also captivating her with his status among the royals, he returns to tell Al-Rashid that he does not have the baker's head but rather something better - his wife. He sends his Grand Vizier to find the man, Assad, but in doing so, he finds Assad's wife with whom he is enchanted. Smoke from the Assads' bakery covers the front of the palace, where the al-Rashid loses a game of chess, leading him to want the head of the baker. The poet sees himself in his story as a pie baker Assad where he lives with his wife directly by the walls of the palace of the Harun Al-Rashid lives.
With the daughter by poet's side, he notices that the arm of Harun al-Rashid is missing and writes a story incorporating the missing arm. The museum hires the poet to write up a back-story for his wax models of Harun al-Rashid ( Emil Jannings), Ivan the Terrible ( Conrad Veidt), and Jack the Ripper ( Werner Krauss) in order to draw an audience for his museum.
A young nameless poet ( William Dieterle) enters a wax museum where the museum propieter ( John Gottowt) works in company of his daughter ( Olga Belajeff).
