A frying pan is all that a single woman has left of her family. But not one woman in need of it. The devil appears from hell itself and steals the frying pan, because it is on them that sinners are fried. In an attempt to get her own back, the woman not only takes the frying pan, but also saves all the martyrs from eternal suffering. The plot of Peter Brueghel's painting "Mad Greta" was taken as a basis.
