- Synopsis:
- D'Artagnan (Warren William) and the musketeers are the only ones who know of the existence of a twin brother, and Fouquet (Joseph Schildkraut) uses his influence to keep everyone silenced. The main story was changed by portraying Louis XIV (Louis Hayward) as selfish, cruel, and incompetent, and Philippe (also Louis Hayward) the kind-hearted brother who is raised by D'Artagnan and the musketeers and does not even know that he has an identical twin. When the truth is discovered, Louis XIV has Philippe imprisoned with the iron mask placed on him, hoping that Philippe's beard will grow inside the mask and eventually strangle him.
