About
It was 1863 in a town called Cactus Jack and Dr. Henry Corbin who was the town’s doctor had grown tired of practicing medicine and was really interested in opening his own wax museum. Money was no object so he called on some of the best carpenters in town to begin the process. The wax museum was completed within a year and the only thing missing was the wax figures. Henry sat at his desk in his wax museum almost in tears. He said, to himself, "What am I going to do? I have no wax figures to put in my wax museum. I'll be out of business even before I open the doors." Henry got up from his desk pacing back and forth trying to figure out how he was going to get some wax figures in his museum fast. Then he realized he had a friend of that had some mannequins in the back of his store and knew he wouldn't mind if he used them in his wax museum. Henry bolted out of the wax museum, and got on his horse, and rode off to his friend’s shop that was in the next town. Henry's heart was racing as his horse galloped through the desert. Henry checked his pocket watch and said, "This horse sure is a fast one, I made it here quicker than I thought I would." Henry tied his horse to a hitching post, and stepped down off his horse, and went inside his friend’s store. Henry walked up to his friend Jack and said, "Hi! Jack, how is business?" "Business couldn't be better. What brings you here?" asked Jack. "Well, I've just opened a wax museum, and I need some wax figures to place inside my wax museum. I was wondering if you would let me use the mannequins in the back of the store for my displays," explained Henry. "Sure, anything to help out a good friend of mine," replied Jack. Henry and Jack gathered the mannequin’s together, and wrapped blankets around them, and placed them in a small wagon to take back to his wax museum. Henry rode back to his wax museum and dipped the mannequins in wax. Then he dressed them up as important figures of history, but on opening day the townspeople came in to check out Henry's wax museum only to make him a laughing stock of the town. A good friend of Henry's said, "Henry, were you drunk when you dressed these wax figures, and started laughing as did many people standing and gazing upon Henry's disastrous wax works. The townspeople exited Henry's wax museum as quickly as they entered. Henry was sweating profusely and sought revenge for being laughed at by people he admired. All Henry thought about was making these townspeople pay for making him look like a fool. Henry said to himself, “They will all be sorry for laughing at me.”
