WAX WORKS (1934)

One evening, a penniless woman in an old hood is walking on the street, carrying a basket with a baby in it. She then lays it by the door of a wax museum owned by Oswald the Rabbit. The woman knocks on the door and leaves. Oswald opens up and sees what's in front of him. In doubt that he would make a good caretaker, however, the rabbit is reluctant to take the foundling in, and therefore goes back inside. But before the door closes, the baby, who is a boy, climbs out of the basket and enters the place.

To his surprise, Oswald finds the baby boy indoors. He then goes on walking around, wondering what he should do. But when the child clings to his leg and asks to be accepted, Oswald changes his mind. As it gets late that night, Oswald goes to sleep, sharing his bed with his foundling. The baby boy, however, is not sleepy and decides to have a little tour of the museum. While wandering the museum's halls, the boy finds part of his pajamas opened. He then asks some statues to close it for him. After one of them provides assistance, that statue decides to show the little sightseer around. Thus all the other wax characters in the area come to life and go into a celebration by singing and dancing. The baby boy wanders further in the museum and into another section. Unlike the ones he met previously, however, the statues are monsters, including Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, the Mummy, and the Invisible Man. They want to torment anyone who steps into their area. To defend himself, the boy grabs a blow torch and tries to liquefy some of them. Despite the kid's advantage, the Invisible Man appears and takes his weapon away. He then force the kid onto a platform and begins to pour molten wax on him. Back in the bedroom, Oswald hears the boy's cries for help and makes the run. But by the time the rabbit reaches the location, it is too late, and all that's left on the platform is a wax relic in the shape of an infant. Oswald is then caught by the wax monsters to suffer a similar fate. It turns out all that trouble was in Oswald's finally. Finally waking up in his bed, Oswald is relieved to see the boy completely unscathed. He is then asked by the kid to button the rear part of his pajamas.
Many of the monsters in the cartoon resemble from Universal horror films of the 1930s, since Universal pictures produced this cartoon.
