When d'Artagnan (Michael York) arrives in Paris from the country, he falls in with three musketeers in service to King Louis XIII, allying with them against the power-hungry Cardinal Richelieu (Charlton Heston). Between duels and capers, d'Artagnan has an affair with his landlord's wife, Constance Bonacieux (Raquel Welch), and seeks to thwart the Cardinal's threat to the King.
