The prisoner scenario: a though experiment
#8
What I imagine for a plot of.. prisoner makes the VMS movie is: 

A person claims they can do something very grand. Philosophers stone. A potion for eternal life. Whatever. 
Somehow they manage to scrounge from some wealthy (and silly) patron, building up a large debt.
Eventually they run out of excuses, the patron locks them up. 
They then agree to do the works, but as a "get out of jail card" they write it in the "original language" - Angels/Demons. Whatever.
They produce sheet after sheet and the Patron and his experts can't crack the code or read any of it. 
When it is finished he reads to them what the manuscript says. They need a plant that is a third poppy, a third blackberry and a third tulip. They need to wait for 400th day of the year and then when the sun touches the moon.... 

Hey, don't look at me like that. Angels said all this, are you saying angels lie?!
Anyway.. what's for dinner?
