Features: At the time when sailor Edmond Dantès was about to marry and become a captain, he was falsely accused and secretly sent to the Chateau d'If prison. In prison, Dantès formed a deep friendship with his fellow inmate Abbé Faria. Faria was a learned man who, over ten years, imparted his life's knowledge to Dantès. On his deathbed, Faria bequeathed the treasure of Monte Cristo to Dantès. After escaping from prison, Dantès found the treasure and adopted the alias Count of Monte Cristo. During these fourteen years, the three men who had betrayed him had risen to prominence and wealth. Meanwhile, Dantès's own father had starved to death, and his fiancée had married the man who had wronged him. Determined to avenge the injustice, Dantès used his immense wealth, profound knowledge, and endless wisdom to subtly turn Paris upside down.
