Description[]

With raised swords and the famed rallying cry of 'All for one and one for all!', the Three Musketeers pledge their loyalty to the throne of France in this exciting animated adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' classic adventure. The three great swordsmen, Porthos, Aramis and Anthos, along with their protégé, D'Artagnan, match wits with the sinister Cardinal Richeileu who seeks to divide the royalty in his own quest for power. Richelieu plots to prove to King Louis XIII that his Queen, Anne, is conspiring with the English throne against him. Out of gratitude for his faithful service, Anne has given England's Duke of Buckingham 12 studded diamonds. Richelieu intends to use this fact as proof of her disloyalty to the King. Richelieu arranges a costume ball where Anne must wear the jewels. It's up to the three Musketeers to retrieve the diamonds from the Duke, foil Richelieu's plan and save France from a terrible war!
