Synopsis:
A fairy tale featuring landlady Margaret, devil Boniface, corrupt councillors and a lazy tailor. In Hell, the devils have a quill that writes human sins into the Book of Sins and the devils go and pull the sinners down to Hell. One day, the quill stops working, and devil Boniface is sent to the Earth for a new one but a lazy tailor steals the quill from him.

The devils back in Hell think nobody is sinning but up on the Earth, everything is topsy-turvy. Boniface admits to Margaret that he is responsible for the whole mess. Together, they not only save the town from destruction, but Boniface learns what true love is.
