A TV adaptation of the classic Alexandre Dumas novel. Edmond Dantes is falsely accused by those jealous of his
good fortune, and is sentenced to spend the rest of his life in the notorious island prison, Chateau d'If. While
imprisoned, he meets the Abbe Faria, a fellow prisoner whom everyone believes to be mad. The Abbe tells
Edmond of a fantastic treasure hidden away on a tiny island, that only he knows the location of. After many years
