Synopsis

After a prologue that takes place in Hell, young millionaire Mason Van Horton becomes involved with Doria, the vampish wife of influential businessman John Manners. When Mason falls in love with Beverly Hope, however, he rejects Doria, who, out of revenge, tells John that Mason tried to seduce her and then begs her husband to ruin him. An indignant John begins to topple Mason's financial empire, but then finds his wife making love to Prince Vandloup. John, instantly realizing that she had lied about Mason and that it was she who had intitiated the affair with him, denounces her. Vandloup then changes into the devil and carries Doria away with him.
