In front of a large cauldron, two bearded men engage in a dispute. Then they summon Mephistopheles from the Caudron. The film is one of the few early Gaumont films not attributed to Alice Guy(although many sources do exactly that), but is made by the team of Georges Hatot and Gaston Brettau while they worked for Gaumont a short while. Some of the scenes are very similar to their movies from their Lumière era. Also, the description for the last scene matches the ending of Pathés "Les Farces de Satan" which is the story of Dr. Faustus.^[1]
