Viscount Albert de Morcerf and Baron Franz d'Epinay, childhood friends from wealthy Parisian noble families, vacation at the annual Carnival on Luna. During an opera performance, Albert becomes fascinated by the Count of Monte Cristo. While following the Count, Albert inadvertently receives a dropped pocketwatch, which he uses to arrange a meeting. The Count invites both young men to dinner during the Carnival's final spectacle.
