The film follows the misadventures of a man who accepted a bet to spend a night in a haunted house. Micheaux shot the film in The Bronx, New York, and Roanoke, Virginia. A Son of Satan ran into distribution problems when state censorship boards rejected the film based on its contents.

In at least one state the film was banned for its title alone No print of the film is known to exist and it is presumed to be a lost film.
