* MagnificentBastard: "Mr. Smith" is really [[{{Satan}} the Devil]], who takes the form of a charming, eccentric old man. Talking Doug Winter, the head of a failing newspaper, out of suicide, Smith agrees to work for him. Smith modifies the newspaper's equipment so that anything he writes comes to pass, causing a series of disasters to boost the paper's sales. When the smug head of a rival paper threatens to ruin them, Smith [[KickTheSonOfABitch arranges for a fire to burn down his office]]. Smith manipulates Winter into a bargain for the soul, getting him to sign on the premise that an educated man like Winter can't be [[ReversePsychology foolish enough to believe in the Devil]]. When Winter tries to fire him, Smith arranges for Winter's assistant to be in a car crash, offering to spare her life if Winter surrenders his soul as agreed. Never losing his charm, Smith sincerely wishes Winter good luck in his last-minute efforts to stop him.
