Description

In sleepy Eseldorf, in the Middle Ages,
three boys-Theodor, Nikolaus and Seppi-
meet a mysterious stranger who is young,
handsome, beautifully dressed, and so
charming that everything is more exciting
in his presence – yet unknown to them, the
dashing newcomer is none other than
Satan incarnate. Satan has no feelings,
and he constantly insults the human race.
He says that man begins as dirt and
departs as stench. He by contrast, is an
angel, immortal and totally without
moral sense. Many untoward incidents
take place in the presence of Satan who
performs several magical feats. The boys
don’t believe Satan’s claims until one of
his predictions comes true.
