An old man unintentionally summons a demon and the demon grants the man a boon. At first, he doesn't want to wish for anything because he knows that the demon will ask for his life or soul, but the demon promises not to. The man wishes for the love of a beautiful woman. He becomes chums with a Hollywood director and makes movie improvement suggestions. He becomes well off and attracts the attention of a beautiful actress. Despite his advanced years, she falls in love with him and accepts his marriage proposal. With the wedding impending, the demon appears once more before the man. The demon demands payment, but the man says that the demon agreed not to take his life or soul. The demon demands his wealth or the life of his fiancé, and if he sacrifices his wealth, no one will remember him and he will return to being an unimportant old man. The man chooses to spare his fiancé and he reverts back to the way he was before the demon first appeared.

A Demon offers a simple man sweeping up in a bar a wish. Knowing that the usual price for this type of offer is his soul or life, he starts to turn the Demon down. But the Demon assured him that neither of those things would be the price. So he agrees and asks for the love of a beautiful woman. When he brings this woman back to the bar, the Demon showed up and demanded his price...the life of the woman or he can go back to his simple life. He chooses to go back and the woman is left wondering why the simple man sweeping up in the bar has a strange smile while working.
