Goethe’s Faust myth makes an appearance in this drama about a dispute between two scientists. When Doctor Voluntas discovers that his rival, the virtuous Doctor Felix, is about to overtake him in the preparation of a serum for cancer, he decides to lure the good doctor into corruption. An innocent woman, Margaret, is reeled in as a decoy and it works! Doctor Felix soon forgets both about his work and himself, while the devil stands ready to take possession of his soul.
Two of the great stars of the time, Gunnar Tolnæs and Carlo Wieth, play the two rivals in this film, which is known under several Danish titles: ‘Dr. Voluntas’, ‘Doktor X’ and ‘Den sejrende Vilje’. The film only has Danish intertitles.
