Firefighters ring for help, and here comes the ladder cart; they hitch a horse to it. A second horse-drawn truck joins the first, and they head down the street to a house fire. Inside a man sleeps, he awakes amidst flames and throws himself back on the bed. In comes a firefighter, hosing down the blaze. He carries out the victim, down a ladder to safety. Other firefighters enter the house to save belongings, and out comes one with a baby. The saved man rejoices, but it's not over yet.

A magical glowing white motorcar ignores policemen, drives up buildings, flies through outer space, and can transform into a horse and carriage.

The German legend of a scholar's unholy pact with the Devil would have been very familiar to most moviegoers (at least European ones), so Georges Méliès' early cinematic treatment likely got away with simply offering a fancifully illustrated late episode without the earlier narrative context (however, spoken narration provides some of the latter in this restored print). Tempted by Mephistopheles with all kinds of dancing and ethereal babes, Faust is at first excited and then terrified by the sight of various demons and monsters. The painted-set designers really went hog wild on this one, depicting the (sometimes sexy) torments of subterranean Hell with in bold terms (even when ballerinas prance in the foreground).

Existuje teória, že by sme sa mali narodiť s malým množstvom alkoholu v krvi a že mierna opitosť nám otvára myseľ pre okolitý svet, znižuje naše problémy a zvyšuje našu kreativitu. Martin a jeho traja priatelia, všetci unavení stredoškolskí učitelia, povzbudení touto teóriou sa pustia do experimentu, v rámci ktorého si počas pracovného dňa udržiavajú stálu hladinu. Ak Churchill vyhral druhú svetovú vojnu v alkoholickom opare, čo by mohlo znamenať pár kvapiek pre nich a ich študentov? Počiatočné výsledky sú pozitívne a malý projekt učiteľov sa zmení na skutočnú akademickú štúdiu. Ich triedy a ich výsledky sa neustále zlepšujú a skupina sa opäť cíti nažive! Keď však výskum preženú, niektorí musia skončiť. Je čoraz jasnejšie, že hoci alkohol mohol viesť k skvelým výsledkom vo svetových dejinách, niektoré odvážne činy so sebou nesú dôsledky.
