What happens

Madam Satan or Madame Satan is a 1930 American pre-Code musical comedy film in black and white with Multicolor sequences. It was produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starred Kay Johnson, Reginald Denny, Lillian Roth, and Roland Young. Madam Satan has been called one of the oddest films DeMille made and certainly one of the oddest MGM made during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Thematically, this marked an attempt by DeMille to return to the boudoir comedies genre that had brought him financial success about 10 years earlier. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
