Description
Stanley is a short order cook, infatuated with Margaret, the
statuesque waitress who works at Whimpy Burger with him.
Despondent, he prepares to end it all when he meets George Spiggott
(the devil). Selling his soul for 7 wishes, Stanley tries to make
Margaret his own first as an intellectual, then as a rock star,
then as a wealthy industrialist. As each fails, he becomes more
aware of how empty his life had been and how much more he has to
live for.
The devil has already demonstrated that he will seize upon any
ambiguity to twist the wish to something unpleasant, so Stanley
words this one carefully: he asks to be "with Margaret, both of
them in love with each other, no other man in her life, have a
spiritual bond, and in a peaceful setting." The devil grants the
wish and both Stanley and the girl become nuns in a convent. Both
are still played by the same actors.
