Dogtanian, knowing that they have been spied on, talks to De Treville and then to the King about changing their plans.

EP11 The Impostor Dec 08, 1991

Blancbec, dressed as King, receives the Count of Bavaria at the frontier.

EP14 A Surprise for Richelieu Dec 29, 1991

The Count of Bavaria arrives in Paris where he is received by the Queen and by Richelieu (because the King is still on his way, having stayed behind to rescue the muskehounds by posing as Blancbec).

When they get there, they are intercepted by Widimer and the Cardinal’s guards, as Richelieu has ordered them to bring in Dogtanian to explain where the King is. At first the Muskehounds appear to be winning their sword fight, but reinforcements of guards arrive, and the King orders Dogtanian to surrender.

EP15 Pedigreen Hood Jan 05, 1992

With the intention of discrediting the King and of inciting the people to rebel, Blancbec has persuaded the nobility of a province to raise excessive and unfair taxes from their subjects. But a mysterious character called Pedigreen Hood, the leader of a band of outlaws who hide in a forest, robs the nobility and shares out the proceeds among the poor. The nobles go to Paris to protest to the King and to demand assistance. Richelieu decides to send Widimer and his men.

EP16 Widimer Complicates Things Jan 12, 1992

The Muskehoundsarrive in a village of the province, where they are able to confirm that the story which the emigrating mouse had told Pomwas no exaggeration – the peasants were living in total poverty. Suddenly, Pedigreen Hood's men arrive and start handing out money and food to the people of the village. Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds head for them in order to talk. The outlaws complain of the King’s injustice in decreeing such high taxes; the Muskehounds try to explain to them that the King cannot be responsible; either the local nobles are raising taxes on their own account, or someone other than the King is behind it.

EP17 The Best Archer Jan 19, 1992

Bonguau arrives secretly at the castle and proposes a cunning plan to the local nobles for capturing Pedigreen – they will pretend to lower taxes and give more freedom to the peasants. To celebrate, they will convene an archery competition with big cash prizes. As Pedigreen is an excellent bowman, he is bound to enter so as to win the prize money and share it among the poor. It should be easy to capture him. The noble’s soldiers issue proclamations announcing the lowering of taxes and the archery contest, much to the joy of the naïve populace.

EP18 The Rescue of Dogtanian Jan 26, 1992

In the light of this latest turn of events, Bonguau decides to bring his men, and together with the soldiers of the villainous nobles, they form a sizeable army. In order to draw out the outlaws, they attack a small village and start to pillage it. As anticipated, Pedigreen and the Muskehounds are not slow to arrive. Whereupon, the bulk of Bonguagu’s force, which has remained in hiding until this moment, falls upon our friends, who look like losing their fight.

The King holds a banquet to celebrate the arrival of Lady Dalma at the Palace. Naturally, Dogtanian, Juliet and the Three Muskehounds are invited. During the party, Athos is inseparable from Lady Dalma, so besotted is he with her. She asks him to accompany her to the bedrooms, as her shoes are hurting her and she wants to change them. Enchanted, Athos accompanies her and stands guard outside her door while she changes.

EP21 The Black Rose Feb 16, 1992

The King charges the Muskehounds with the task of catching the mysterious masked man in black. For his part, Richelieu suspects the Muskehounds; the masked man could be another Pedigreen Hood and be a friend of Dogtanian; after all, Dogtanian did not capture him at the banquet.

EP22 A Terrific Surprise Feb 23, 1992

The King charges the Muskehounds with the task of catching the mysterious masked man in black. For his part, Richelieu suspects the Muskehounds; the masked man could be another Pedigreen Hood and be a friend of Dogtanian; after all, Dogtanian did not capture him at the banquet.

EP23 The Kidnapping of Fleur Mar 01, 1992

Blancbec, fed up with the Muskehounds always frustrating his plans, contracts Milady to kidnap Fleur, Dogtanian's daughter. Milady arrives at Dogtanian’s house when he is not there, pretending that she has a message from the Cardinal, who is prepared to work with the Muskehounds. Juliet tells her that Dogtanian will be back shortly, so Milady pretends to wait for him. Milady starts to play hide and seek with Fleur, and when Juliet is not watching, carries her off.

EP24 Where Is Fleur? Mar 08, 1992

Richelieu, who for some time has suspected that some strange intrigue is going on which he does not know about, orders Widimer to investigate Fleur’s kidnapping. Widimer is astonished because he cannot understand why the cardinal should wish to help his old enemy. Richelieu tells him to stop talking nonsense and to carry out his orders; the interests of France are above any personal rivalry. On their side, the Muskehounds and Pip move heaven and earth to find the trail of the missing Fleur. Naturally, Dogtanian and Juliet are dismayed.

EP25 The Rescue of Fleur Mar 15, 1992

Dogtanian pursues Bonguau who joins up with Blancbec in his castle, to tell him all is lost and that they must flee. Dogtanian arrives as Blancbec and Bonguau are preparing to escape, but Blancbec threatens that he will kill Fleur if Dogtanian does not give up his sword. Dogtanian throws down his sword, but at the same time, Fleur bites Blancbec’s hand and forces him to release her. As Dogtanian embraces his daughter, the two villains take flight—but not very far. The Three Muskehounds, following Dogtanian, cut them off and capture them.

EP26 Treville's Successor Mar 22, 1992

Monsieur De Treville decides to retire from his position as head of the Royal Guard, as he believes that a younger man should take over his difficult task. Widimer tries to apply for the post, claiming the glory for a series of successes, including the capture of Blancbec; but the appointment falls to Dogtanian. At first, he is reluctant to accept such a high honour, and tries in turn to persuade his three friends to accept the post.

Reviews

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
