When a poor Portuguese civil servant receives a visit from the Devil, he's offered an irresistible proposition: ring a bell to inherit vast riches from a distant Chinese mandarin. After succumbing to temptation, Teodoro discovers that fabulous wealth brings unexpected torment. Haunted by his crime, he embarks on a journey to China seeking redemption, only to find that escaping the consequences of avarice may be impossible. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
