Righteous district attorney Joseph Foster's main goal in life is to rid his city of the gangsters infesting it. In order to be even more efficient in his war against crime he plans to run for governor. One day he meets a strange, shadowy man, Nick Beal, who offers to help him to achieve his end. Beal convinces hesitating Foster by dint of easy money, easy sex with an alluring young woman and the promise of easy success. Joseph Foster soon becomes an influential politician but a corrupt one. A minister of God manages to show him that he has been the plaything of the so-called Nick Beal, who might be "Old Nick" , that is to say Satan himself. Foster then decides to resign and to become an honest man again. 译文(3): 正义的地方检察官约瑟夫·福斯特（Joseph Foster）一生的主要目标是清除这座城市的黑帮势力。为了更有效地打击犯罪，他计划竞选州长。有一天，他遇到了一个奇怪的、神秘的人，尼克·比尔，他提出要帮助他实现自己的目标。比尔凭借轻松的金钱、与一位迷人的年轻女子轻松的性爱以及轻松成功的承诺，说服了犹豫不决的福斯特。约瑟夫·福斯特很快成为一位有影响力的政治家，但同时也是一位腐败的政治家。一位上帝的牧师设法向他表明，他是所谓的尼克·比尔（Nick Beal）的玩物；“老尼克”，也就是说撒旦自己。然后福斯特决定辞职，重新成为一个诚实的人。
