A baron has heard tales of an alchemist who can foretell the future so he tortures him until he reveals his secret is a large crystal eye which reveals the future. The alchemist warns the baron that he must not take the eye for it was only loaned to him but the baron disregards the warning and slays the alchemist. Later that evening approaching midnight the baron gazes into the eye and demands to see tomorrow's events. He is shocked when the hideous face of a demon appears. The baron thinks the alchemist placed an evil spell upon the eye but the demon appears and informs the baron that the eye does indeed show the future.
