The Hell business is just not paying. No-one's been down there for two thousand years except some chap called Dante, who got quite the wrong impression. The Devil wants Crucible, the owner of the Square Deal Advertising Company, to help him get it back up, with people having day trips, a grand day out for all the family and such. The entire place becomes increasingly popular, with restaurants and bars poping up all over the place, and teenagers flocking there, until it's only Hell for one person: the Devil himself.
