Petey Wheatstraw (Rudy Ray Moore) is a candidate to become the devil's son-in-law. The storyline is a scaffolding on which Rudy Ray Moore's standup humor can be unfolded.

When Petey attempts to default on the deal, he is pursued by the devil's henchmen.
영화와 무대를 오가던 스타 토니 헌터는 자신이 한물갔다는 느낌을 갖는다. 그의 친구 레스터와 릴리는 토니의 완벽한 컴백 무대가 될 공연을 제안하고, 토니도 동참하기로 한다. 하지만 거물급 연출가 제프리 코르도바가 합류해 극에 ‘파우스트’의 음울한 재해석을 가미하면서 토니는 불안에 빠진다. 뮤지컬과 쇼 비즈니스의 세계를 찬양한 영화로 이미 쉰을 넘긴 프레드 아스테어에 대한 미넬리의 오마주가 담긴 작품. 은막의 스타가 뮤지컬 세계로 복귀하는 과정을 통해 뮤지컬의 매혹을 그리고 있다. 프레드 아스테어와 시드 채리스가 공원에서 달빛을 맞으며 춤을 추는 장면과 필름누아르를 뮤지컬의 춤과 음악으로 표현한 영화 후반부 장면이 환상적이다.
