Robert Colwan, a clergymans son, is so confident of his salvation as one of the Lords elect that he comes to look on himself as a man apart, unhindered by considerations of mere earthly law. He is led into the strange and sinful life by a devilish doppelganger - a life that will finally lead him to murder.
