The sailor Edmond Dantès is arrested shortly before his marriage to the Catalan Mercedes, on charges of betrayal, and is taken to the fortress of If, while his loved ones are unaware of his fate. There, one step before resigning himself to death, he meets the abbot Faria, who teaches him and tells him about the treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo.

Dantès escapes and presents himself as Count of Monte Cristo, to take revenge on those who wanted his destruction.
