3 MUSKETIERE

The young, impetuous nobleman D'Artagnan leaves his parental home to join the troops of King Ludwig XIII. In Paris he meets the three musketeers Athos, Porthos and Aramis and his great love Constance. Together they became paws in the scheming of Cardinal Richelieu and his accomplice Lady de Winter. The power-hungry Cardinal plans to manipulate the inexperienced king for his campaign against the Hugenotten.
D´Artagnan, his royal companions and Constance rush into a dangerous adventure to stop the malicious adversary.
