Synopsis
The Devil visits Earth on a magic elevator. He surprises two sewer workers, disguises himself, and spreads chaos: a quarrel with a coachman, an altercation with a police sergeant, the confusion for a barman and others. He is trapped in a cage with a young woman and returns to Hell. It is revealed that the young woman is, in fact, the jealous Madame Devil in disguise.

A pleasant early example of stop frame trickery and back screen projection. Minimal plotline - as if a stage magician is going through bis act with plenty of female assistants standing around looking pretty. Hopefully this was colorised and not individualy painted frames.
