They proceed to entertain the guests at the wedding banquet for Renaud, a knight, and Anne, the baron's daughter. But their real purpose is a sinister one: they are Satan's envoys sent to Earth to destroy mankind's sense of morality. However, when Gilles seduces the bride, he falls in love with her, instead of completing his evil task -- and her devotion saves his soul. Now that his disciple no longer serves him, the Devil takes his revenge, but even his power fails to crush the spirit of their love. [More]

Reviews for Les Visiteurs Du Soir
