The film's plot is a loose, eroticized adaptation of Dumas's The Three Musketeers , placing a heavy emphasis on one key aspect of a young man’s journey to Paris: his sexual coming-of-age. The story begins by focusing on a young D'Artagnan (played by Peter Graf), a noble duke whose greatest wish is to join the King's Musketeers. However, before he can accomplish this, his path is waylaid by a series of eager and beautiful women.

If you’re looking for a historically accurate portrayal of 17th-century France or a masterful display of fencing, you’re in the wrong place. But if you’re a fan of 70s cult comedies that don’t take themselves seriously, The Sex Adventures of the Three Musketeers (1971) is a bizarre, bawdy relic worth a look—if only for the sheer audacity of its premise. : Most reviews highlight a complete absence of plot
The catalyst for d'Artagnan's awakening is Yvonne (Ingrid Steeger), a peasant girl who, according to the plot, "has her eye on him and has a couple of romps in the corn field". After this initial seduction, the film transitions into what one critic calls a "succession of atrocious sex jokes" as the would-be hero's world rapidly expands. The encounter that supposedly changes his life is the loss of his virginity to a voluptuous gypsy woman, who prophesies his future appeal to noble ladies. D'Artagnan's sexual naivety is a central theme; he swiftly goes from virgin to having three women in a single day, completely forgetting his dream of becoming a Musketeer.
