I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'demon tossed second' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'torch' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'torch' could be 'burn' (to torch something is to deliberately burn it down) and 'burn' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
