Synopsis: Stanley is a short order cook, infatuated with Margaret, the statuesque waitress who works at Wimpy Bar with him. Despondent, he prepares to end it all when he meets George Spiggott AKA 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. He also meets the seven deadly sins who try and advise him.

in the morning, you're in.

Ten minutes past 4:00 in the

morning, and you're there?

It never fails.

Oh, that Margaret's such a...

gorgeous girl.

Isn't she lovely?

I'd like to know what

she's doing right now.

Well, that can be arranged.

Let's just get this out.

What's that?

Galileo's wonderful

little invention.

Have you got sixpence?

Yes.

Have a peer through that.

There we are.

Wha...

Come on, Roberts.

Put your back into it!

It's very good of you to

spend so much time on this.

Shh. Oh, that's why we're here,

Miss Spencer... to help people out.

Or fish people out, rather.

Excuse me, Miss Spencer.

People get the wrong

idea about the police.

We're all human beings

as well, you know.

No, we like the public to

think of us as their friends.

I'm sure we all do, Inspector.

Why don't you call me Reg?

All right, Reg.

And you must call me Margaret.

Here, she told him to

call her Margaret.

I think she fancies him a bit.

Shut up!

Oh, I do hope they don't

find Stanley down there.

He was such a...

Quick, it's run out!

Give me another sixpence.

Ooh-ooh! Ooh-ooh! Ah! Ooh-ooh!

I haven't got one!

Ohh!

Oh, I know she was gonna say

something nice about me.

Oh, let me have her now.

I must have her now. Please!

Just tell me who, where, when,

under what circumstances.

Margaret is who, of course, but I don't want

to go through courting again... that was awful.

Why not be married to her? Then you'll

be absolutely certain of having her.

Yeah. A-And I'd like to be powerful,

'cause I'd like to give her lots of things.

Rich. Influential. Millionaire.

Multi.

Multi. Good thinking.

Multimillionaire. Yachts, servants,

country estates, a phone in the lav.

Yeah, but I don't want her to be like

she was last time... you know, timid.

I want her to be... physical.

I'll make her very physical,

indeed, for you, Stanley.

Stiffen yourself.

The magic words:
Jackie Kennedy!

Oh, well. Julie Andrews.

Randy!

Afternoon, Seed.

Hello, everybody. How are you, Peter?

Sorry I'm late, darling.

Mmm! Hello, Randolph.

Hello.

Brought you a little

something from town.

Do you like it?

Yes. Isn't it lovely, Randy?

Yes.

We're playing croquet.

Why don't you and Peter go away...

and discuss your affairs?

True enough.

I suppose we ought to... tie

up this Venezuelan business.

Yes.

Lord Dowdy, I wonder if you'd be so

kind as to take over my blue ball...

and double up with Daphne.

C-C-C-C-C-Certainly.

Who is that young Randy fellow?

What?

Oh. Randolph.

He's an awfully nice chap.

He's, uh... He's teaching

Margaret the harp.

Oh, yes.

She's terribly artistic, you know.

Is she?

Yes. Terribly.

Artistic?

- Yes. Yes.
