The Count of Monte-Cristo (1975) (TV)
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 in prison, the old Abbe dies, and
Edmond escapes disguised as the dead body. Now free,
Edmond must find the treasure the Abbe told him of, so he can
use the new-found wealth to exact revenge on those who have
wronged him.
