The convicts work hard with their tools, certain they will never leave the prison.

Prologue

What Have I Done?
After being helped by the Bishop of Digne, who gave him his blessing, Valjean tears up his yellow ticket of leave and decides to start a new life.

At The End Of The Day
Several years later Valjean has become a Mayor and runs a successful factory. The factory workers still aren't too happy though!
