I denna ondskefullt listig satir bestämmer sig Djävulen för att grunda sin egen kyrka—en plats där synden inte bara tolereras, utan upphöjs till dygd, i direkt opposition till Guds lära.

Men när Djävulen tror sig ha full kontroll över sin anti-kyrka upptäcker han en obekväm sanning: människan är aldrig så konsekvent som hon själv vill tro.
