A poor but talented student makes a Faustian bargain with a mysterious sorcerer: great wealth and a chance at winning the woman he loves, in exchange for any object in his room. The student agrees, and the sorcerer takes his reflection from a mirror. The student soon discovers that his detached shadowy double has gained a life of its own and begins to haunt him.
