In New York, the money-driven dealer Dean Corso is a rare-books expert
and partner of Bernie, who owns a bookstore. He is contacted by the
renowned collector of books about the devil Boris Balkan, who has just
acquired the rare The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows from the
collector Andrew Telfer, to verify whether his book is authentic or
a forgery. Balkan explains that the book was written by the writer
Aristide Torchia, in 1666, with Lucifer and he was burned at the
stake with his entire work. There are only three exemplars of The
Nine Gates and in accordance with the legend, its nine engravings
form a riddle to conjure the devil. The skeptical Corso accepts
the assignment and has to flight to Sintra, Portugal, and Paris,
France, to contact the owners Victor Fargas and Baroness Kessler
and find the genuine exemplar for Balkan. Meanwhile, he asks Bernie
to hide the rare book.
