Synopsis
A story that takes place around the Harz Mountains of Germany in the year 1600. Hertzog, a crook-back sorcerer makes a pact with the devil. He will be allowed to live one extra year for every soul he delivers. His first victim is Rudolphe, who had been imprisoned by the evil Count Wolfenstein. After Rudolphe escapes he discovers a burried treasure and saves the life of Stalacta, a fairy queen who then saves him from Hertzog's evil plan. After the Black Crook fails to deliver a soul to the devil, he himself gets taken to hell.
