Beginning at 12:30 p.m. August 31, TUTV will feature a nearly four-hour block of programming of the 1933 silent film serial. Based on the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas, but updated and set in Northern Africa, The Three Musketeers features a young John Wayne as the D’Artagnan character.
When Lt. Wayne (played by Wayne) is framed for the murder of his fiancé’s brother, Armand Corday, he vows to capture the real killer, a mysterious Arab terrorist known only as El Shaitan. He is aided by the Three Musketeers: Clancy (an Irishman always spoiling for a fight), Renard, and Schmidt (who loves sausages).
