- A demonic magician attempts to perform his act in a strange grotto, but is confronted by a Good Spirit who opposes him.
- In a strange grotto deep in the bowels of the earth a coffin uprights itself, dances, then opens, and out steps a demonic magician with skeletal face, horns, and cape. He wraps two women (who appear to be in a trance) in fabric, levitates them, and causes them to burst into flames and disappear. As he gathers their ashes in a pitcher a Good Spirit [a young woman who resembles Peter Pan] appears, shakes her head No, and reveals the "souls" of the two women in a secret compartment deeper within the cave. The Good Spirit vanishes in a puff of smoke. The magician then produces 3 glass bottles on pillars, takes them downstage close to the camera, and reveals 3 tiny women in them; one woman beats a tambourine while the other two sway. The magician pours ashes (?) into the bottles, but the Good Spirit reappears and makes these trapped figures disappear in a flash, angering the magician, who chases her away. He makes an easel appear. There is an odd sort of screen on it bearing the Pathe rooster logo. The magician then invents channel-surfing, causing three different "shows" to appear on the screen in rapid succession. The Good Spirit reappears and causes this strange television set to vanish, but the magician creates two more in turn, each more elaborate than the last, with various images of persons and dogs flashing across their screens. Finally, the Good Spirit reveals to the evil magician an area within the cave where there are four pillars and a tableau of distinguished-looking ladies (goddesses?). She takes the magician downstage, forces him to the ground, pours a pitcher of something on him (ashes? Holy water?) and turns him into a lifeless skeleton, which she reveals to the camera. Three tall flames appear in the foreground, and the film is over.—wmorrow59
- Deep into the unfathomable chasms of Hell, enfolded by the eternal darkness of a metaphysical space/time dimension, a malevolent spirit manifests out of thin air, and without delay, commences an unholy ritual. Suddenly, five condemned women appear--and through a series of dark incantations combined with ancient sorcery--the demon manages to extract their immortal souls. Before him, three mournful sacrificial urns await to seal their fates, while visions of a life that is no more, echo within the cavernous purgatory. Undoubtedly, such is the work of humanity's arch-enemy, nevertheless, a benevolent light-bearing spirit who is ready to thwart the fiend's plans intends to defend the lost souls, in a great battle between Good and Evil. Is there an escape from the abysmal pits of Tartarus?—Nick Riganas
