There are similarities between this film and the Napoleonic-era novel The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. In the book Edmond Dantès is the victim of a plot by evil men and, being framed as a presumed traitor, he is imprisoned in a solitary cell in a remote fortress. After many years an elderly prisoner breaks through the wall of his cell, having spent most of a decade trying to tunnel his way to freedom. Later, realizing that he will not live to see freedom, the old man tells Dantès of a vast treasure and how to find it.When the old man dies, he is sewn into a sack to be buried at sea. Dantès finds him in this condition, hides his body in the tunnel, and trades places with him, sewing himself into the sack. Once the preparations are ready, the jailers return and he is thrown into the ocean, then cuts himself free and escapes. After being found by pirates, he finds the treasure and assumes leadership. He then presents himself as a wealthy count and methodically takes out his revenge on those who had imprisoned him.Joy / Ma tells Jack the story of the Count of Monte Cristo. When she rolls him into a carpet and shows him how to play dead, and then escape, she is taking the idea directly from Dumas' story.
