During the plague Faust despairs and burns his books after failing to stop death. As Satan sends Mephisto to tempt Faust, first with insight into treating the plague and then with a day's return to youth. Mephisto is clever, timing the end of this 24 hours as Faust embraces the beautiful Duchess of Parma.
Faust trades his soul for youth but later he's bored and demands on Easter Sunday that Mephisto take him home. Faust promptly sees and falls in love with the beautiful Gretchen whose liaison with him brings her dishonor. Leaving his to question if there can be redemption and who actually wins the wager?
