Faust refuse de le suivre dans une crevasse, mais est contraint par Méphisto à descendre avec lui. Arrivés au fond de la caverne, ils voient des démons dotés de piques dansant. Méphisto surgit alors du sous-sol et déploie de larges ailes de chauve-souris, au milieu de la liesse générale.

In a room in a medieval castle, Satan examines six money bags, and then locks them in a large chest. A blond man, creeping into the room on his knees, jumps toward the table where he expects to find the money bags. Realizing the money is in the chest, he forces it open, but the lid slams down on his fingers. When he opens it again, the money bags are jump and frolicking of their own accord. The man slams the lid down and sits on it, but he falls off when six young women in devilish outfits emerge one by one from the chest. They transform the money bags into spears and chase the man around the room; when the man tries to take refuge in the chest, it magically changes position. The women disappear, but the chest itself comes to life before transforming into a demon and tormenting the man. Satan and the demon throw the man in the safe, and they and the women dance around it as fire and smoke issue from it. Finally, the safe explodes to reveal the original money bags, safe and sound.

In a Renaissance chamber decorated with devilish faces and a warped coat of arms, a gleeful Satan throws three human victims into a cauldron, which spews out flames. The victims rise from the cauldron as nebulous ghosts, and then turn into fireballs. The fireballs multiply and pursue Satan around the chamber. Finally Satan himself leaps into the infernal cauldron, which gives off a final burst of flame.

Sorti en 1899, c'est-à-dire seulement 5 ans après les débuts de l'affaire Dreyfus dans un contexte politique où la France est divisée en 2 camps, ce film ouvertement dreyfusard reconstitue de manière chronologique et séquentiellement les faits de l'époque. Après le jugement militaire, les images muettes montrent Dreyfus au bagne où il est attaché à son lit la nuit. Puis on voit le suicide du colonel Henry suivi du retour en France de Dreyfus par une nuit d'orage.
