On his tenth birthday, the young devil Griffelkin is sent to earth to cause mischief.

Hell condemns him for his compassion and turns him into a human boy, whom the girl’s family welcomes.
During the California Gold Rush, Smiley boasts that his frog, Dan’l Webster, can beat any frog in Calaveras County and wagers $40. The Stranger pretends to find a competitor, but secretly feeds buckshot to his frog. Dan’l cannot jump, so the Stranger wins. When Smiley discovers the trick, the townspeople catch the Stranger, take back the money and drive him from town.
