Pierre La Roc is a criminal on the run, he climbs in through an open widow to escape the police, and finds himself in a wax museum. He hides as part of one of the exhibits as the police search the place. After the police leave, the wax figures come to life and chase La Roc out of the building, whereupon he then surrenders to the police. Later, a policeman discusses the strange case with a figure in a top hat, who later returns to his place as one of the wax figures in the museum.
