A devil in a flame-filled cave capers with two naked, bat-winged winged demonesses, then stuffs them in a barrel, from which he pours blood.
It's sick and disgusting and quite effective, this movie from Gaston Velle. I attribute a good deal of it to its cameraman, Segundo de Chomon, who soon would be directing this sort of movie, intended to take away Georges Melies' market is fantastic stop-motion horror.
The copy I looked at, derived from New York's Museum of Modern Art, is in terrific shape, with clear images and some weird color, including lots of orange for the flames...which are strips of light gauze kept moving by fans.
