The Devil's Eye

Don Juan is resurrected and sent back to Earth by Satan himself, not to seduce women, but to prove that women are evil. He is paired with Britt-Marie, a virtuous young woman who is about to take her virginity vows. Their ensuing entanglement and the ensuing chaos lead to a humorous exploration of temptation and purity.
