Satan s'amuse (Satán se divierte in Spanish, Satan at Play in English[1]) is a 1907 French silent film directed by pioneer Segundo de Chomón. It is often confused with Le spectre rouge, notably in the IMDb database and subsequently in YouTube attributions.
The Devil visits Earth on a magic elevator. He surprises two sewer workers, disguises himself, and spreads chaos: a quarrel with a coachman, an altercation with a police sergeant, the confusion for a barman and others. He is trapped in a cage with a young woman and returns to Hell. It is revealed that the young woman is, in fact, the jealous Madame Devil in disguise.
