Description
A very pretty young woman starts an affair with a married
man.Yvette is married to a college Prof and her lover is to a
plain, very plump older woman. They decide not to get divorces and
marry each other partly because they feel guilty and partly because
the wife Ruth is not nearly as young, & attractive as her & where
would she find another husband and it would be fair.
Foolishly the young woman calls up the devil who is rather world
weary and Yvette wishes that she could have her love without
hurting either her Husband or Ruth and there would be no chance in
domestically arrangements. Of course the devil switches her body
with the unattractive, older woman! Good last scene where the
horrifed Yvette is staring into the mirror at her new fat body and
then the phone rings and it is Ruth in the sexy young body calling
to gloat and also come for a visit where the implication is that
she will have an affair with her former husband and rub it in! Part
of the devil's spell is that the new Ruth can't tell anyone and has
to act like Ruth.
