In 1648 France, Queen Anne is near death. Her son, Louis, is just a boy and too young to rule. The Duke Lavalle wants to marry the queen's daughter, Henriette, and take over the throne, after he kills the young prince. Queen Anne has hidden Louis away, and she tries to send messengers to her cousin in Spain, asking for his aid. But, each time, Lavalle's men get to them and kill them. Desperate, the queen sends word to the most famous Musketeers, Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan. But, the original Musketeers are too old to fight, so their sons, Aramis Jr, Porthos Jr, and D'Artagnan Jr meet up at an inn that was their father's meeting place. Later, they're joined by the last member, who they find out is Claire, the daughter of Athos, and just as expert a swordfighter. The next morning soldiers of Lavalle come to the inn, searching for Musketeers. When the soldiers don't believe their cover story, they pull out their swords and fight. After they win the battle they head off to the palace to meet Queen Anne. When they are granted an audience, the queen is surprised to see that it's the children of the Musketeers, but they promise their loyalty. The queen tells them where she has hidden the prince. She also says they have to get Henriette to Spain so that her cousin can protect her. Henriette goes on a carriage ride everyday, guarded by six of Lavalle's men, and the Musketeers plan to kidnap her to Spain. The queen thanks them, but says that Claire has to go back home.
