Childhood friends Viscount Albert de Morcerf and Baron Franz d'Epinay, the children of wealthy nobles from Paris, are on vacation and attending an annual Carnival on Luna. Albert is captivated by the Count of Monte Cristo while at an opera performance. While Albert tails the Count, the Count unknowingly drops his pocketwatch, which Albert uses to set up a meeting with the Count. When he tries to return the watch, he and Franz are invited to dinner during the final spectacle of the Carnival. Albert is offered a chance to pardon one of three murderers by choosing one out of three of playing cards, but randomly chooses the boastful murderer, Rocka Buriol, to his surprise and dismay. He tries to lose himself for the night with a girl, but she suddenly pulls a gun on him. (Source: Wikipedia)
