Back in Paris, Albert's sheltered friends grow suspicious upon the arrival of the mysterious Count of Monte Cristo.

At a party thrown by the Count, the guests play a game. They search for a secret room in the villa where a curse is sealed away. Albert has already discovered one secret kept between the Count and Heloise.

Albert's engagement is in jeopardy; Baron Dangler prefers his daughter to marry into wealth. Albert rushes to the opera house to find Eugenie - but the curtain may have already closed on his love.

Aboard his spaceship, the Count of Monte Cristo tells Albert about an old friend who was betrayed and imprisoned. Back home, Franz is close to learning an important secret.

Being rescued from danger by Chateau-Renaud, Albert learns about Eugenie's marriage and rushes over to the Danglars' home.

Five years later, Albert returns to Paris to visit the relics of his former life and the grave of a dear friend.
