His favorite proves unfaithful and Anthony is about to slay his rival when his hand is stayed by a Christian priest. Anthony is converted, relinquishing a life of luxury and giving to the poor his silken raiment and costly jewels. As a holy hermit he retires to a cave, and the Evil One tries to tempt him back to his former life. Hideous, grinning devils crawl about him and are instantly transformed into women of wondrous beauty. Anthony withstands the temptations and goes out and preaches to the multitudes. The woman tries to ensnare him again, but his eloquent appeal to heaven to save her soul moves her to reformation. Her death while clasping the cross is compellingly acted and touching.
