Il Dottor Parnassus gira per le strade con il suo carrozzone dalle qualità particolari. In compagnia di un giovane, una fanciulla (sua figlia Valentina) e un nano mette in scena ovunque uno spettacolo che ha al suo centro uno specchio. Chi lo oltrepassa si trova in un mondo in cui puo' realizzare i suoi desideri piu' fantasiosi. Parnassus e' immortale ma ha conquistato questa dote grazie a una scommessa vinta con il Diavolo che ha assunto le sembianze del perfido Mr. Nick. Sono trascorsi i secoli e, nel momento in cui ha trovato il vero amore, il Dottore ha stipulato un nuovo patto con Mr. Nick il quale vuole che Valentina sia sua al compimento del sedicesimo anno di età. La data è ormai prossima.
