Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Though I walk through the valley of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff, they shall comfort me... Let all those who carry the mark of the beast cower in terror! For I will come for them. Are you there sinners?
