When Lionel Savage, a poet in Victorian London, learns that he's broke, he marries the beautiful Vivien Lancaster for her money, only to find that his muse has abandoned him. Savage accidentally summons the Devil at a society party. The two hit it off, but when the party's over and Vivien has disappeared, the poet concludes in horror that he must have inadvertently sold his wife to the dark lord. In the spirit of P G Wodehouse and Monty Python.
