Temptation

About the show

At a science institute campaigning against black magic, Dr. Foustka secretly studies the occult and summons Fistula, a Mephistophelean figure who offers help in exchange for public credit. Foustka tries to use the arrangement for his own advantage while denying it to the institute and Fistula; both sides expose his duplicity, and the institute’s final costume party ends with Foustka engulfed in flames.
