DESCRIPTION:

In this action-packed adaptation of Alexander Dumas' The Three Musketeers. Tom Wayne (John Wayne) is a fugitive from justice, framed for a murder he did not commit. El Shaitan, the mysterious and diabolical leader of the Devil's Circle, a group who are plotting an Arab rebellion against the Foreign Legion, is to blame. It's up to Tom's sweetheart Elaine and the trustworthy Three Musketeers, Clancy (Jack Mulhall), Renard (Raymond Hatton) and Schmidt (Francis X. Bushman Jr.), to put an end to his reign of terror and clear Tom's name.

Tom and the Three Musketeers narrowly escape death as they saddle up for a Sahara thrill-ride in the name of truth, justice and brotherhood. This 1946 release is a feature length version of the 1933 12 chapter serial The Three Musketeers.

Technically a reedit of the 1933 serial THE THREE MUSKETEERS, this 1946 feature stars The Duke himself, John Wayne, as Tom, man in service to The Foreign Legion. The officers in Tom's unit must defeat an unsavory character named El Shaitan, the "Devil of the Desert," who is plotting a rebellion that will cause chaos throughout the entire region.
