Year 1815. On the wedding day of Edmond Dantès, the young captain of the merchant navy, a false denunciation and unjust accusation of treason, without trial or investigation, send him to one of the most terrible prisons—the Château d'If. After four years of imprisonment, he meets another prisoner, Abbe Faria, who is trying to dig a tunnel to escape. Becoming Faria's ally, Dantès learns from him the location of the immense wealth of the Knights Templar. After ten years, having escaped and obtained the treasure, Dantès becomes the enigmatic Count of Monte Cristo and begins to carry out a cunning plan of revenge to punish those who ruined his life.
