In this early silent film by Georges Méliès a miser puts his wealth in seven sacks. The devil appears and puts the sacks in a coffer and later when the miser finds them there they change into seven girls that chase and beat him. They eventually put him in the coffer, when he emerges he finds the girls and his wealth gone. This film was released in France in 1902 under the name, "Les trésors de satan."

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
