Member of the upper-crust Angela (Johnson), fearing she’s losing her husband Bob (Denny) to the carefree showgirl Trixie (Roth), reimagines herself as the alluring “Madam Satan” to win him back. Her transformation is completed during a wildly extravagant costume party aboard a colossal dirigible. When a real storm strikes and the airship begins to fail, acts of sacrifice reveal the true devotion of the main characters. This dazzling and quintessential look at sin in society from legendary director DeMille is an unforgettable pre-code delight.
