Country boy d'Artagnan is desperate to join the King's elite band of bodyguards, the Musketeers. And when his fiery loyalties (which often get him into trouble) and incredible sword skills (which get him out again) manage to impress brash Porthos, foppish Aramis and melancholy Athos, the three musketeers and d'Artagnan become friends for life. But when the four discover that the King is under threat from Cardinal Richelieu and beautiful spy Milady, can they save France from certain destruction?
