Königin Anna und der intrigante Kardinal Mazarin beauftragen die Musketiere D’Artagnan, Porthos und Athos, in England die Hinrichtung König Karls I. zu verhindern. Der Plan mißlingt, und unterwegs begegnen sie einer neuen Kontrahentin: Justine, die Tochter ihrer ehemaligen Widersacherin Milady de Winter, die nun den Tod ihrer Mutter rächen will. Mit Justines Hilfe verschleppt Mazarin den zehnjährigen König Ludwig XIV., um die Alleinherrschaft über das Land zu erzwingen. Im Kampf für König und Vaterland findet nun auch Aramis zu seinen Musketier-Freunden und nach einem heißen Gefecht kann der Kardinal zum Rücktritt gezwungen werden.
It's 1649: Mazarin hires the impoverished D'Artagnan to find the other musketeers: Cromwell has overthrown the English king, so Mazarin fears revolt, particularly from the popular Beaufort. Porthos, bored with riches and wanting a title, signs on, but Aramis, an abbé, and Athos, a brawler raising an intellectual son, assist Beaufort in secret. When they fail to halt Beaufort's escape from prison, the musketeers are expendable, and Mazarin sends them to London to rescue Charles I. They are also pursued by Justine, the avenging daughter of Milady de Winter, their enemy 20 years ago. They must escape England, avoid Justine, serve the Queen, and secure Beauford's political reforms.
