Sculptor Ivan Igor [Atwill] was nearly burned to death when an arsonist destroyed his London wax museum years earlier. Now living in New York, Igor is ready to open a new wax museum. Although badly burned and confined to a wheelchair Igor has trained his apprentices to create masterpieces close to his abilities before the fire.
When a spunky reporter notices how much one of Igor’s wax statues looks like a missing model, she decides to sneak back into the museum and see what gives.
If you liked Dr. X, then you should enjoy Mystery at the Museum since it is almost the same movie made with the same director and stars.
