Robert Stevenson

Dr. Charles Greyson is a famous and wealthy former surgeon. His nephews have taken him to court to challenge his competency, due to his recent inexplicable gifts of large amounts of cash to the church, and, apparently, to some nefarious scam artists. The film is portrayed as a courtroom drama first painting "Dr. Charlie" as incompetent and easily swindled, then telling his side of events and putting them into context.

The son of the legendary Count of Monte Cristo is framed for a murder he didn't commit by one of his father's bitterest enemies, a man who is determined to get his hands on the family's wealth.
