This story, made famous by Dumas, is so well known as to need little description. The plot by which the countess and her husband endeavor to steal the magnificent diamond necklace the queen desired, but refused from the hands of her husband, and how the plot was discovered and foiled, and the ultimate punishment of the countess, makes a most dramatic and enthralling story, powerfully acted, beautifully staged and magnificently photographed.
