The young D'Artagnan leaves Gascony and goes to Paris with dreams of becoming a musketeer like his late father. There he meets the famous three musketeers, Athos, Aramis, Porthos, and when they anger him by making fun of him for being from the country, he challenges the three of them to a duel. In the midst of his fight, he meets the beautiful lady Constance, and falls in love.

Then the Jussac appears one of the 13 most renowned imperial guards and tries to apprehend the four of them for breaking the "no dueling" law. D'Artagnan and the three musketeers join forces to fight the imperial guards and they win. The three musketeers then acknowledge D'Artagnan's swordplay take him as their apprentice. At an inn, the four of them along with Constance share a congratulatory toast, then suddenly someone sweeps Constance away from them...
