Storyline

After receiving 20,000 dollars from the family trust fund, Lowell invests the money in an old wax museum. Despite everyone's doubts about it, Lowell renovates the museum, but at the lackluster grand reopening of "Lowell Mather's House O' Wax", he comes to realize it won't be easy. When news comes of a disastrous fire at the museum, Lowell is determined to start again from scratch, but when he realizes that the place is fully insured against fire, he's thankful just to have his money back.
