IMDB
When his employer is murdered by unknown assailants Capt. Adam Corbett an 18th-century soldier of fortune, joins the dead man's daughter, Pauline Jackson, in a search party seeking a treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo. The group, each member of which holds a portion of the treasure map, includes Van Ryman, a Dutch sea captain, Auclair, a Frenchman, and Count Boldini, an Italian who is accompanied by his fiancĂ©e, Lucetta. When the adventurers land on the island, they are captured by Renato, the island's ruler, and his bandits. At first Renato orders his prisoners put to death, but he spares their lives when Corbett beats him in hand-to-hand combat. In uncovering the treasure in a cave, one of the men is wounded; and Corbett and Renato take the victim to a doctor on the mainland. They return in time to see Boldini escaping with the treasure. In the melee that follows, Lucetta attempts to shoot Corbett but accidentally kills Boldini. As Boldini falls, he overturns the treasure chest, revealing its contents–nothing but bits of rope and chain. (The real treasure was hidden in another ship by Pauline's manservant, and the ship has sunk to the bottom of the bay.) Corbett consoles himself with Pauline's love while Lucetta mourns her dead lover
Edmund 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 Edmund 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 Edmund escapes disguised as the dead body. Now free, Edmund 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.
