Output (English): Alex Gregor Chaney is a performing mentalist known as Gregor the Great. One night on stage, placing his own fiance into a hypnotic trance, he is ridiculed by a skeptical member of the audience Hohl, who claims its all done with mirrors. Simultaneously, the show is aired to a radio audience. The man, clearly plastered, starts accusing Alex of being a fake. Alex reacts by hypnotizing the man, ending up accidentally killing him. Even though the medical examiner concludes that the drunken man died from a heart attack, Alex is riddled with guilt and confesses to have murdered the man. Ashamed of what he has done, he breaks off the engagement to his girlfriend and assistant, Maura Daniel Ankers. George Keene Milburn Stone, who is Alexs manager, arranges for him to work for an old friend, Mme Valerie Monet Tala Birell. She is the owner of a wax museum and Alex is hired as a lecturer. Valeries niece, Nina Coudreau Elena Verdugo, is also working at the museum, and they are both very excited to have a man with Alexs gifts working with them. There is also a disturbed former plastic surgeon Rudi Poldan Martin Kosleck, on the payroll, working as a sculptor. This odd physician becomes jealous of the attention given to Alex. Maura reappears and attempts to woo Gregor back. Jealousy spreads, infecting Valerie, who falsely accuses Alex of making advances to Nina, her niece. Arguments ensue, ending with Valerie fainting and Alex leaving in anger. Following a nights sleep, Alex returns to find that Valerie has disappeared. Police Inspector Brant Douglass Dumbrille suspects that Valerie has been murdered, believing Alex to be the last person to have seen Valerie alive. All are unaware that Rudi has found Valerie in a coma and hidden her away among his unfinished wax sculptures. Nina suspects Alex of scheming with the crazy surgeon to be rid of Valerie. What they dont know is that Rudi has planned to get Alex committed as mentally ill, and the mastermind of this ingenious plan is none other than Alexs manager, George. The reason is to gain control over Alexs property. Rudi manages to make Nina fall into a coma and hides her body in the same manner as was done with Valerie. Rudi shows George where he has placed the bodies of the two women. They discover that Valerie is dead. Now guilty of murder, George becomes frantic, wanting to get rid of both of the bodies, even though Nina is still alive. Alex decides the only person he can trust is Maura, who agrees to help. Alex places Maura in a trance and she implicates both George and Rudi using the psychic abilities granted to her by the trance, as demonstrated in the opening scene of the film. Trying to escape, George is captured by Brant, who has heard Mauras every word. Alex and Maura go to the museum cellar to free Nina and encounter Rudi. In the ensuing struggle with Gregor, Rudi falls backward into the furnace to his death. The story ends with Alex and Maura married and on their way to their honeymoon, together with Nina, their new ward. Brant visits and asks Alex for help with a case, as a medical consultant. Alex answers: Oh, Inspector, I thought you knew. Its all done with mirrors.
