Kroeger is an evil chief minister in the court of Napoleon III who wants a valuable sword that belonged to the Count of Monte Cristo and that is the key to uncovering his vast fortune. However, the sword is in the hands of Corday, a masked savior of the liberty of the French people, who
plans to use the sword to start a revolt. Montgomery plays a captain who switches sides when he realizes the government is evil. Delivered in a formulaic manner with stereotypical performances, this film explores two important themes that run through the swashbuckling adventure dramas, that of the
masked avenger and the female fighter for justice against some type of evil government...
