Satan appears during four different time periods to claim a soul. As a Pharisee he tempts Judas to betray Christ; as a Grand Inquisitor in 16th Spain; as a fervent revolutionary in Paris of 1793; and as a defrocked Red monk during the Russo-Finnish war of 1918, where he is foiled by a courageous Finnish girl who chooses to die rather than betray her country, and frees Satan of a thousand years of damnation.
