In a European village shrouded in fog, a lone figure cases Wagner's Wonderful Wax Museum. The thief plans to steal the wax figures and create a new museum in a distant country. Inside, he is confronted by the watchman. Pulling his gun, the thief shoots and backs away, unwittingly hitting his head on a column and knocking himself out. The police hear the shoots and arrive on the scene to find the thief has developed a case of amnesia from the blow to his head. They discuss the fact that there was no one to shoot at, and the watchman is revealed to be a wax figure of Herr Wagner, the founder of the wax museum.

A simple man who wants to be mayor helps a Leprechaun in the forest by letting him out of a cave. The Leprechaun gives him magic seeds and magic paint to revitalize the town, but when he asks the ungrateful townsfolk to be made mayor they scoff at him just as much as before when the town was rundown, so he goes back into the forest and takes the Leprechaun with him back into the cave.
