Alan Badel stars as Edmond Dantes in this 1960s BBC adaptation of the novel by Alexandre Dumas. Though his only crime is his good fortune and his love for the beautiful Mercedes (Natasha Parry), Dantes is betrayed by a rival for her affection and exiled to the island prison Chateau d'If. Though no one has ever escaped from the prison, Dantes does not give up hope and through his friendship with a fellow convict hatches a plan to break out. Once free, Dantes recovers lost treasure and purchases the title of Count, before returning to Marseille to visit vengeance on those who wronged him.
