The 1920s was a golden age for stage magic and Carter is an American stage magician at the height of his fame. At the climax of his latest touring stage show Carter invites President Warren G. Harding to take part in his act. In front of an amazed audience Carter proceeds to chop the president into pieces cut off his head and feed him to a lion before restoring him to health. Two hours later the president is dead and Carter finds himself the center of unwelcome attention. The title comes from Carter's evening stage show the third act was called "Carter Beats The Devil" and features Carter in a magician's duel with an assistant made up as the Devil. The major theme of Carter Beats The Devil is one of seemingly impossible escapes. This theme runs from Carter's first glimpse of magic as a child when he is imprisoned in the cellar of his parents' house to the final most impossible death defying escape of all. Another theme is the way different things inspire wonder. Another theme is that of achievements being made in secret. Carter's greatest trick is performed to the knowledge of only a few close people.
