D’Artagnan è appena arrivato a Parigi per arruolarsi nei moschettieri e si mette subito nei guai con le guardie del cardinale, animate da storica rivalità; lo salvano tre colleghi, Athos, Porthos e Aramis, dei quali diventa amico per la pelle. Gli intrighi di Richelieu e di Milady stanno per rovinare la reputazione della regina, ma i moschettieri mettono a repentaglio la propria vita per recuperare i gioielli che la regina aveva regalato all’amante.
