Videotape, 7:00, colour, stereo
A wooden statue of Christ gets bored in the quiet museum. He is admonishingly spoken to by some other meddlesome saint, but fortunately St.-Lucia comes along and she is quite ready to perform a voluptuous dance. That has its consequences! The little devil has seen everything and in turn, he begins a dance of delight. It is questionable if he may indeed rejoice yet, because St.-Lucia quits and runs. Salvation seems assured when she manages to jump onto the back of the horse of a gallant knight. He gallops away swiftly with the distressed lady, but... just too late. In the nick of time, the devil managed to change her into a cheeky ape. At the end of this pleasantly animated tape, Catherine II and Marie Reliquaire also seem to be taking part, but their appearance is difficult to place in this edifying tale.
