The Princess is now safe, with a greatful France cheering the musketeers (Pete and the Beagle Boys' fate is left unclear, but it can be presumed they are imprisoned, or managed to escape). Mickey, Donald, and Goofy arrive and battle Pete onstage teaming up, they show Pete that each flaw he pointed out about them can be compensated for by their friendship, defeating him. The smallest one poses as her, announcing to the public that she is handing the crown over to a gleeful Pete. Outside the Paris Opéra, Minnie is captured by the Beagle Boys. An insulting song by Troubadour, however, makes him change his mind and Donald decides to rescue Mickey before he drowns and they manage to rescue their friend. Goofy tries to convince Donald that they have to save Mickey but he is too scared to try. The two plummet towards the river, but land in Donald's boat, destroying it in the process.

Goofy flirts with her, and wins her heart with his "numbskull charm". Meanwhile, Clarabelle is about to throw a chained up Goofy to his death off a bridge. Mickey is then captured by Pete, who chains him up in a dungeon in Mont Saint-Michel that will flood when the tide comes in. He tells Mickey Pete's true personality and leaves him by himself. Donald discovers that Pete is actually trying to kidnap Minnie and rule France. The Beagle Boys capture Donald, but he escapes. While on night duty, Goofy is lured away from the palace by Clarabelle. Pete is furious that the Beagle Boys failed in their task and realizes that the three protagonists are more of a threat than he originally anticipated. After Mickey unties Minnie and makes her laugh, the two fall in love. When Mickey and Goofy are trapped with the Beagle Boys, Goofy gets the idea to do the same thing again with Mickey and they manage to knock the Beagles out of the tower and rescue Minnie and Daisy. Outside, Goofy bounces off a tree, gets kicked by a cow and is thrown by a windmill back into the tower, and goes rolling past the Beagle Boys again. At the entrance to a tall tower, Goofy tells his fellow musketeers to stand back so he can break down the door, but Mickey opens it before he can stop, which sends Goofy rolling past the Beagle Boys and out of the tower. Mickey encourages his friends not to lose hope and they rush to rescue Minnie and Daisy. Mickey is also defeated, leaving the three heroes stranded. Donald hides and is eventually thrown off the carriage, and Goofy is easily defeated, leaving Mickey to fight the intruders. While Minnie and Daisy (Minnie's lady-in-waiting), protected by Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, go on a journey, they are ambushed by the Beagle Boys. Pete, knowing that skilled musketeers would jeopardize his kidnap plans, appoints Mickey, Donald, and Goofy to protect her as he knows they will be easy to get rid of.

Pete goes to the princess, who tells him that she wants musketeer bodyguards. Just then, Pete's lieutenant, Clarabelle Cow, tells Pete that Princess Minnie requests his presence. An enraged Pete yells at his idiotic henchmen, telling them they were supposed to kidnap the princess and keep her "safe" before the opera The Pirates of Penzance, which is when he plans to take over the kingdom (this is accompanied by a running gag: whenever Pete mentions "the opera", a poster of the opera is shown, and an operatic voice sings). The Beagles run to tell their boss, Pete, that they were not successful in dropping the safe on Minnie. This leaves the three downhearted, but still hopeful in succeeding in their dream.

In 1860, the three are working as janitors in the palace, still dreaming of becoming musketeers, despite their flaws: Donald is a "coward" (who turns into a chicken whenever he is frightened), Goofy is a "doofus" (who constantly causes mayhem and destruction through his bumbling), and Mickey is "just too small", according to Captain Pete of the Royal Musketeers. The urchins are inspired to be great musketeers some day. Afterward, Athos gives his hat to Mickey as a souvenir. In 1850, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Mickey's dog Pluto are street urchins, who, while being robbed by masked bandits (played by the Beagle Boys) and are saved by the Royal Musketeers, Athos, Aramis, Porthos and d'Artagnan.
