Four elderly men meet for coffee late at night. The fourth to arrive is hostile to the waiter, who secretly urinates in the man's coffee. The man, Abum (
Dick Bakalyan), realizes this, and the group share a laugh over it, during which they are revealed to actually be
demons. One of the demons, Blurk (
Bill Macy), complains that there are no strong personalities in this century. He tells a story of Perry, a man he met
hitch-hiking, who he molded into a
serial killer over encouraging conversations. Perry sought to emulate Johnny Mack Potter, the country's most prolific killer, and to break his record number of murders. Perry, with Blurk in tow, began to murder a number of
prostitutes and
vagrants, quickly surpassing Potter's body count. However, Blurk grew bored with Perry's "mundane" murders, and provided the police with a tip that led to his arrest. Curiously, one of the men present at the arrest—
profiler Frank Black (
Lance Henriksen)—seems to see through Blurk's human disguise. In prison, Perry is later murdered by Potter, who reclaims his record in doing so. Abum tells another story, which he believes shows that mankind no longer needs demonic
temptation to be
damned. Abum followed an
everyman figure named Brock, watching his depressingly repetitive life. Brock often visited a
strip club but without joy, which led Abum to believe he no longer took
pleasure from
sinning. One day, Abum added an additional irritation to Brock's life: he posed as a traffic warden and gave the man a ticket. This was enough to drive Brock to
suicide. However, during this time, Abum also encountered Black, who again saw his demonic nature. Greb (
Alex Diakun) shares his tale of an overzealous television censor named Waylon Figgleif. Greb assumed the form of a small demonic baby and revealed himself to Figgleif, who broke down and began attempting to censor everyday life. Greb repeated his trick, encouraging Figgleif to burst onto the set of a science fiction show about
alien abduction and kill several actors. The murder spree ended up being caught on camera and was broadcast by another network as a
found footage special. However, Greb also notes that he too was spotted by Black during all of this. The fourth devil, Toby (Wally Dalton), is convinced that Black really does know that they are demons. He explains that once, he was feeling
ennui at his failure to damn humans. He met and courted an aging stripper, Sally, who fell in love with him. Their relationship blossomed, despite her having seen his true demonic form. However, Toby eventually betrays her by acting as if he is going to propose before insulting and breaking up with her. He later visited her home and found police investigating her suicide. Once again, Black is one of the investigators present and sees Toby for who he is. However, instead of recoiling, Black tells Toby that he can see how lonely the demon is. Toby's story affects all the gathered demons, who realize how lonely they really are. As they get up to leave, Abum praises the shop's coffee and briefly reveals his true form to the waiter. ==Production==
