An upright magistrate investigates a fire that has taken place at the local cathedral. Citizens of the town with particular interests attempt to blacken his name. A devil is instructed to enter his body via the anus to transform his personality - but instead enters the body of his housekeeper Ganossa. The magistrate duly falls for his housekeeper, and ends up being taken to court.
