This silent film parodies the 1921 movie The Three Musketeers. It follows the same basic story of Musketeers in France but with comic exaggerations and gags.

What happens

The Three Must-Get-Theres is a 1922 American silent film directed by Max Linder. The film follows the plot of the 1844 novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. It is also meant as a parody of the previously released 1921 film The Three Musketeers, starring Douglas Fairbanks. This was Linder's final American film before returning to Europe where he co-directed his last completed film in Austria, Max, der Zirkuskönig (Max, King of the Circus). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
