In a war-torn principality, a prince with two daughters resides: the malicious Angelina and the humble Adelka. The prince, neglecting his duties, entrusts leadership to a greedy steward. The steward covets a mill where live young Peter and his wicked stepmother, who aids the steward's quest to control the property. Ever-watchful devils see everything and send young devil Janek to Earth to drag sinners to Hell. Befriending Peter and aided by Adelka, they challenge earthly lords and infernal forces.
