Three Musketeers, The (film) The classic story of the young D’Artagnan journeying to Paris to join the Musketeers, only to find the powerful Cardinal Richelieu plotting against them and attempting to make himself king. Richelieu is thwarted in this action by the three remaining Musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. The cardinal dispatches the Count De Rochefort, a nefarious former Musketeer, to kill them, and arranges for his cohort, Milady De Winter, to travel to England to make a secret treaty with the Duke of Buckingham, the true ruler of England.
