A young bachelor feels tied down while caring for his sick mother, but he still dreams of a successful career as a photographer. His chance comes from an unexpected quarter when he meets a man named Mephi who opens up a hole in a wall and takes the bachelor through to a fantasy land. Once there, and with Mephi's help, the bachelor enters into some unscrupulous activities in order to obtain his wish. After he has violated his own moral code, Mephi has a further deal for him: he will give him all the wealth he wants for possession of his soul at death.
