The story

As described in a film magazine review, the old tale is told of how the archangel Lucifer defied the authority of God and was dismissed from heaven until by a redemption of souls he again earns his right in the high places. Struggling writer Geoffrey Tempest denounces God and declares himself willing to sell his soul to the devil in return for worldly possessions. His wish is granted when Prince Lucio de Rimanez appears and leads him on a merry pace, informing Tempest that he has inherited a fortune with the only proviso is that Tempest must place his fate entirely in the Prince's hands.
