In a kingdom, where the king's only job is to go hunting, the queen is begging the Saint Kryspina for a baby. When her patience runs out, she asks the devil living in a nearby shabby old mill. And before long, the queen is giving birth to a baby girl. The little princess is growing up with Stepan, the chamber-maid's son, and we see the two fall in love eventually. When it turns out that the queen has a pact with the devil giving the princess to the very Luciper on the day of her 18th birthday, the king throws a ball at which princess Stepanka is about to get engaged with a prince from a foreign country and thus evade her fate. Luciper is one of the suitors, too, but gets rejected by Stepanka. As a revenge, he enchants her into an apparition showing up on the castle's terrace every night. Stepan decides to free her and gets his foot in fighting the hell. His bravery and his great love help him complete three tasks issued by the devil. During the final one, he outsmarts even the Luciper himself and sets his princess free from the hell. And they are in for a wonderful, dreamy life... (Bontonfilm)
