Description

Unjustly imprisoned in the dungeons of the Chateau d’If, Edmond Dantes, befriends a fellow prisoner who reveals to him the location of a great treasure. When he at last makes his escape he has the means to wreak his vengeance on those who wronged him which he devilishly extends to others innocent of any offense as his cold and bitter resentment knows no bounds.
