Young d’Artagnan has only one ambition - to be a king’s musketeer some day. With these dreams, he reaches Paris. Monsieur de Treville makes him a member of the king’s guards, and promises that if he proves his worth he can become a musketeer one day. In Paris, d’Artagnan befriends Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, the three musketeers; and also falls in love with the beautiful Constance Bonacieux, Queen Anne’s linen maid.
But little does he know that Queen Anne would soon fall into trouble with her husband, King Louise XIII, because of her secret lover, which is what the cardinal wants. With Constance begging him to help, and the wicked cardinal and his men chasing him, will d’Artagnan be able to save the queen’s honour? Will he ever fulfil his dream of being a musketeer?
