      abstract = {"A tragic legend written down in the sixteenth century  wherein a learned scientist honoured with the laurels of  his university, sold his soul to the devil for still  greater knowledge and power in the unknown." - title  screen.  Deeply unsatisfied with God's decree that the  reward of sin is death, Dr. John Faustus, a scholar at  Wittenberg, opts to cut a deal with Lucifer.  The  contract--signed in Faustus's blood--stipulates that the  doctor receive the services of Lucifer's lackey,  Mephistophilis, for a period of 24 years, during which he  has access to all knowledge, beauty, power as well as  returned youth.  In exchange, Lucifer receives Faustus's  renunciation of Christ and, at the end of the 24 years, the  doctor's soul, which he may torment in the pit of Hell for  all eternity.},
