The joys of the flesh prove fleeting and Lorenzo soon grows tired of Mathilde and turns his attentions to an innocent young girl named Angela (Sophie Linfield). With the aid of Mathilde's sorcery, Lorenzo attempts to seduce the girl but he is surprised by Angela's mother, Elvira (Laura Davenport). In panic, Lorenzo murders Elvira and turns to his lover for help, but the Power of Darkness which Mathilde commands cannot save the monk from the Inquisition.
