Edmond Dantes is a naive, entirely benign young sailor who has just been made captain of his ship, and is newly engaged to the beautiful Mercedes. Just as his life seems like it couldn't get any better, he is framed as a Napoleonic spy by four men, each with his own sinister aims, and sent to life imprisonment in the [[Hellhole Prison|Chateau d'If]]. |
