1933.
In the heart of America.
Sonny Blackstone, a hunchbacked hitman, is hired to kill the devil so that a man with a dark past may regain his immortal soul. With the help of a younger (and prettier) tag-a-long, a newly found ray gun (like straight from Buck Rogers) and a wayward jazz playing angel, he gets his shot. Along the way they are chased by a horde of demons, participate in a phantom automobile race, and enlist the aid of a traveling circus with one gigantic animal attraction. However, the soul he attempts to save may not be the soul he ends up fighting for.
What does it take to shoot the devil?
