Summary:
There's plenty of swordplay and swashbuckling adventure in Alexandre Dumas's tale of identical twins separated as infants, and raised unaware of each other's existence. One becomes a Parisian gentleman, the other a country bandit. When they are reunited as adults, they seek revenge on the evil Baron who plundered their homestead and robbed them of their birthright. Complications arise when both fall in love with the same beautiful Countess, and the rivalry threatens to derail their vendetta.
