Synopsis

Spoiler shield

In this sequel to the original story, Monte Cristo count Edmund Dantes (Martin Kosleck) returns to Paris to get revenge but soon finds himself pursued by a cruel policeman. The count's brave wife Haydée throws the cop off her husband's scent by dressing up as the masked avenger herself and proving that she too is most competent with a sword.
