Kind of annoyed at this point about adaptations that whitewash the Count of Monte Cristo not only because a huge bit of the Counts character and experiences are based on Dumas himself (who was black) but also because at every point when the Rich Assholes™️ are trying to guess the Counts nationality as if it matters, they assume he's Maltese, Egyptian, Arab, Turkish, Levantine, Indian, everything EXCEPT French. I rest my case that Edmond Dantés is NOT white.

Gosh the Nimona movie has got me in such a chokehold. I don't think I have hyperfixated this hard on something since I was 15 when I watched BBC The Musketeers
Excuse me as I Totally Legally download the whole movie so I can watch it 15 more times to scratch the itch in my brain

What is the plot of The Count of Monte Cristo? I don't feel like reading the wiki
A guy named Ed is about to get a new Mercedes. People get jealous so they say he likes Napoleon in one of the years when liking Napoleon was punished and not celebrated.
Ed goes to prison and it sucks. Luckily, the guy in the next cell who has dug an escape tunnel and knows literally everything including the location of a fuckton of treasure teaches Ed everything he knows and then dies so Ed gets some serious Deus-Ex-Machina help, or in this case, Italian-Guy-Ex-Prison-Tunnel.
Ed uses his newfound wealth and smarts to call himself a Count (presumably from Monte Cristo) and get revenge on everyone. This has way fewer sword fights and way more economic machinations than the movie version.
If it's all too complex, just check this handy chart of character relationships that's seriously on the wiki page:
