Synopsis
Edmond Dantès, incarcéré à Sisteron pour avoir dénoncé et permis le démantèlement de tout un réseau de Résistance, parvient en compagnie de Bertuccio, en 1947, à s'évader vers l'Amérique du Sud. Mais l'épave de l'avion est bientôt repêchée non loin du Brésil et les fugitifs sont considérés comme morts. Ils sauvent la vie d'une jeune fille, Linda, et de son père dans le désert. Un jour, Linda est enlevée. Les bandits cherchent à la violenter. La libération se solde par l'assassinat de son père. Dantès et Bertuccio promettent à Linda de ne jamais l'abandonner. Les années passent, mais les hasards de leur infortune les amènent à rencontrer un ivrogne, Faria, qui se prétend détenteur d'un trésor. Deux jours plus tard les trois hommes et Linda se mettent en route pour la montagne, emportant les puissants explosifs nécessaires pour se frayer un chemin jusqu'à l'emplacement du trésor... Riche, sous un nouveau nom de Christian Montès, Edmond s'introduit dans le milieu où Morcerf — qui a épousé la fiancée d'Edmond, Maria — et Villefort vivent luxueusement grâce aux millions volés qui ont permis leur réussite. Il retrouve le dénonciateur qui confirme ses soupçons et il attire dans un piège les deux instigateurs de la félonie. Linda tend un piège au maître Villefort, qui veut tuer Edmond pour la deuxième fois.Actors

12 February 1945, Germany. Max Otto von Stierlitz, a respected SS-Standartenführer in the Ausland-SD, is in fact Soviet spy Maxim Isaev, who has infiltrated into the German establishment. Though Adolf Hitler is determined to continue the Second World War, Walter Schellenberg convinces Heinrich Himmler to conduct secret negotiations with the Americans, hoping to reach a separate peace deal which would allow the Germans to concentrate all their forces on the Eastern Front. In the meantime, Ernst Kaltenbrunner becomes suspicious of Stierlitz, and orders Heinrich Müller to launch a covert investigation on him.
