Längst hat sich unter Insidern herumgesprochen, daß im Himmel nur gepflegte Langeweile herrscht. In der Hölle dagegen ist buchstäblich der Teufel los. Der Satan selbst hingegen verläßt gerne von Zeit zu Zeit den Hexenkessel und begibt sich verkleidet auf die Erde, um dort sein teuflisches Unwesen zu treiben.
