Critic Luciano E. Soriano of the Manila Standard gave the film a mixed review, praising Dolphy's natural comedic skills while criticizing the number of characters as excessive and unnecessary for the story.
Wanting to win the heart of a beautiful teacher, Demi makes a pact with the devil to use black magic powers for his own advantage. But with his pure heart prevailing over evil intentions, Demi uses the powers to save people badly in need of his help instead. Furious, the devil asks for Demi's soul in exchange for using his magic.
