''The Black Crook'', being such an early musical, has a rather crudely written plot by modern standards. It's set in the Hartz Mountains of Germany in the 1600s. A sorcerer named Hertzog makes a deal with the Arch Fiend that allows him to live one extra year for every soul he gives the Fiend. His first victim is a man named Rudolphe, who is currently imprisoned by the evil Count Wolfenstein. Rudolph, however, escapes. After discovering a buried treasure, he rescues a fairy queen named Stalacta. Stalacta saves him from Hertzog. Hertzog, failing to bring the Arch Fiend a victim, is himself sent to Hell.
