Synopsis:

The Three Musketeers: The young D'Artagnan (Michael York) arrives in Paris with dreams of becoming a king's musketeer. He meets and quarrels with three men, Athos (Oliver Reed), Porthos (Frank Finlay), and Aramis (Richard Chamberlain), each of whom challenges him to a duel. D'Artagnan finds out that they are musketeers and is invited to join them in their efforts to oppose Cardinal Richelieu (Charlton Heston) who wishes to increase his already considerable power over the king. D'Artagnan must also juggle affairs with the charming Constance Bonancieux (Raquel Welch) and the passionate Milady De Winter (Faye Dunaway), a secret agent for the cardinal. The adventure continues in the 'Four Musketeers'...

The Four Musketeers: D'Artagnan (Michael York) has become a Musketeer. Protestants hold La Rochelle, and the Queen loves Buckingham, who'll soon send ships to support the rebels. Richelieu enlists Rochefort (Christopher Lee) to kidnap Constance (Raquel Welch), the Queen's go-between and D'Artagnan's love. The Cardinal (Charlton Heston) uses the wily, amoral Milady de Winter (Faye Dunaway) to distract D'Artagnan. But soon, she is D'Artagnan's sworn enemy and she has an unfortunate history with Athos (Oliver Reed) as well. Milady, with Rochefort's help, then turns to her personal agenda. Can D'Artagnan save Constance, defeat Rochefort, slip de Winter's ire, and stay free of the Cardinal? It's all for one and one for all in this rollicking sequel (filmed simultaneously) to Dick Lester's The Three Musketeers.
