King Louis XIV has a secret twin brother, Philippe, also played by Fairbanks. Philippe has been imprisoned in the Bastille for much of his life, and his existence is kept hidden from the public to avoid complications in the royal succession.
When the aging D'Artagnan becomes aware of Philippe's plight, he embarks on a daring mission to free him and to restore justice and rightful rule to the kingdom. This involves navigating court intrigue, political conspiracies, and swordfights.
The film features swashbuckling action sequences, secret passages, and duels as D'Artagnan and his allies seek to reveal the true identity of the man behind the iron mask.
