His boss wants to fire him, the Devil wants his soul...
Who would have thought that writing a book about the Devil could cause so much trouble?

Ted Granville works in a dead-end job where his boss makes his life miserable. So, looking for a career change, he writes a book on human behavior, one in which he rejects the concept of evil and religion and even denies and disparages the Devil himself. Surprisingly, his book becomes quite popular, landing the unsuspecting Ted in a dilemma of supernatural intrigue!

Then there is poor Chester Ambrose, a bumbling, low-level management devil whose boss is the Devil, and who finds himself in big trouble because of this book. Chester, not knowing what to do, calls upon a she-devil named Sylvia who has a plan; all Chester has to do is use his powers of corruption to convince "this stupid human" to write a second book, renouncing his first and praising the Devil. She even assigns a beautiful spirit named Annette to assist. Chester's meeting with Sylvia couldn't have been better timed, for he has been ducking calls from upper management until he is finally brought on the carpet where the Boss gives him an ultimatum; have this second book written... or else!

So, Chester puts Sylvia's plan into action by bringing Ted to his nightclub, The Other Side, where he begins corrupting the author promising him wealth and fame, and all Chester wants in return is the opportunity to help Ted in the writing of his next "bestseller."

But things don't go quite as a devil would have expected and, when complications arise, it's anybody's guess who will end up burning in Hell!
