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.
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.
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.
