The Three Musketeers

This swashbuckling serial opens with American Army Pilot (John Wayne) saving three French Legionnaires from certain death at the hands of an Arab army. A desert rebellion has overtaken an Arab kingdom and the French Foreign Legion finds itself fighting for its life. Early on in the serial Wayne is framed for a murder and is forced to desert from the American Army. A wanted man, he joins his comrades in the Legion. There he attempts to clear his name while fighting alongside the Frenchmen against the Arab revolt. As each chapter ends you will bite you nails wondering if Wayne and his fellow musketeers will survive and accomplish their mission.

This action serial is the last to feature the "duke" himself, John Wayne. These twelve chapters follow three French Foreign Legionnaires as they fight evil desert warriors while tracking down the elusive El Shaitan, leader of the "Circle of Death." This edition was digitally transferred and reprocessed for sound.
