It's a heated way to disagree with what has been said. He is trying to say she is wrong.

"The hell it isn't."
It is an expression of severe irony. Technically, he is agreeing with Susan to the point of it being so ridiculous that he means exactly the opposite.
Example:
A: China is a democracy.
B: The hell it is!
