Plot Summary:Gangster Eddie Kagel is killed by a trusted lieutenant and finds himself in Harry Redmond Jrs special-effects Hell, where NickThe Devil sees that he is an-exact double for a judge who Nick doesnt approve of. Eddie is agreeable to having his soul transferred to the judges body, as it will give him a chance to avenge himself on his killer. But every action taken by Eddie (as the judge) results in good rather than evil and, to Nicks dismay, the reputation and influence of the judge is enhanced, rather than impaired by Eddie. And Eddie also falls in love with the judges fiance, Barbara. Even Eddies planned revenge fails and Nick is forced to concede defeat. He returns to Hell, taking Eddie with him, after Eddie has extracted his promise that Nick will not molest the judge or Barbara in the future.
