Mayfair incarnated as a black dog came to Faust and became a servant to fulfill his wishes anytime, anywhere. Under the leadership of Mayfair, Faust rejuvenates into a vibrant youth and meets a pure and kind-hearted Margaret (Camilla Horne Camilla Horn). Under the mockery of Mayfair, Marguerite falls in love, but accidentally kills her mother, and her brother dies at Faustus's hands.
