The year is 1648. Cardinal Richelieu is dead. France is falling apart. Aged Queen Anne (Gladys Cooper) is struggling against Duc de Lavalle (Robert Douglas) who is secretly killing her supporters. Her son is in hiding and Lavalle is looking to take control of him. Queen Anne summons the sons of the original Musketeers; D'Artagnan Jr. (Cornel Wilde), Aramis Jr. (Dan O'Herlihy), and Porthos Jr. (Alan Hale Jr.). They are joined by Claire (Maureen O'Hara), daughter of Athos, who can fight as well as most men.
I really hate this title. They should call this Sons of the Musketeers or just Sons of Musketeers. That's the IP. I guess Cornel Wilde is the supposed lead, but Maureen O'Hara is the standout. She has the much better character and has some fun in the first half. The movie needs to make her the star although a woman fighter may not be a good idea back in the 50's. The three guys should be imprisoned and she can come to their rescue. Despite being rather short, the movie is a bit messy.
