Plot: Plot:Jean Mariole wants to cause a stir to draw the editors' attention to his lover's book "la fille de Monte Cristo" (= Monte Cristo's daughter° ) and thus to get rid of her cause he has found another girl:so he feigns her abduction: headlines in the newspapers!Based on an operetta ,directed by a specialist of the French coarse comedy of the thirties (" trois artilleurs ": two movies) , these gangsters have little to offer to a contemporary audience :even the exuberant Betty Stockfeld, who's got plenty of go,is wasted here in an anemic part.Pierre Larquey steals the show as the Chateau d'If attendant : as a guide,he sells autographs of Dumas 's famous fictive characters Edmond Dantès and l'Abbé Faria ; there's even a haunted tower with a ghost but the tourists are requested to pay a supplement if they wish to experiment terror.
