If not The Devil in person, Nick Richards is surely a demon. Nothing wrong about that: we've seen King Kong destroy Tokyo and we were perfectly OK with that.
In a memorable scene, Nick transforms into his old dead uncle Pete, or maybe Nick and Pete are the same person. We know King Kong had his motives, but we will never know why Nick, in the trasformation scene, wants a witness to attend, in the person of town drunkard Papers (called that way because he likes to read newspapers!).
Nick can make animals obey to his commands, or/and can himself change into animals. And he is responsible of a lot of evil doings. When a pool of residents of Furnace Flats (the hell is a hot place...) discover - without any clue - his secret, they take appropriate measures. (Let's call it "secret", though evidently it is not, otherwise Nick wouldn't have requested a witness).
The good citizens shoot to death Nick's last avatar, a black horse. In the final scene they - not particularly astonished - see the dead horse transforming into Nick, then into Pete, and then, magically, "all losses are restored, and all sorrows end".
