S01E01 At France's Service
Some time has passed when we again meet the Muskehounds living a life of leisure. The years have not passed uneventfully—Dogranian has married Juliet and has two children.
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.
France, 17th century. As a secret plot is on motion to overthrow King Louis XIII, the little daughter of Dogtanian, the brave muskehound of the Royal Guard, is kidnapped.
