Short description

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.

What's left behind the scenes

Originally, the film was intended to consist of four parts, but due to financial difficulties, the episode with the robber Renato Rinaldi was never filmed, although his figure is present in the museum.
