Yoko goes to Bruges, Belgium. She's been invited there by a local artist, Van Laet, who wants to show her portrait of her he supposedly painted. Taking in the sights before their appointment, the young woman learns that the man has an unpleasant reputation - it is said he made a deal with the devil. When they finally meet, the painter produces the portrait and claims that Yoko posed for it ... in the 16th century!
