故事发生在1660年的法国，国王路易（理查德·查伯兰 Richard Chamberlain 饰）整日沉湎于酒色之中，无心朝政，使臣民们生活在水深火热之中。路易有一个孪生弟弟名为菲利普（理查德·查伯兰 Richard Chamberlain 饰），史书中记载的菲利普刚刚出生便已夭折，可实际上，他被偷偷送往阿尔卑斯山的一个庄园中，隐姓埋名，生长在此。 　　国王的昏庸让内务大臣科贝尔（拉尔夫·理查德森 Ralph Richardson 饰）和火枪手队长达达尼昂（路易斯·乔丹 Louis Jourdan 饰）感到大为不满，他们决定找到菲利普，扶持他推翻哥哥的统治，登上王位。贪婪的财政大臣富凯（帕特里克·麦高汉 Patrick McGoohan 饰）早先一步找到了菲利普，他和国王一起设计，给菲利普带上铁面，投入了深牢之中。 Paris is starving, but the King of France is more interested in money and bedding women. When a young soldier dies for the sake of a shag, Aramis, Athos and Porthos band together with a plan to replace the king. Unknown to many, there is a 2nd king, a twin, hidden at birth, then imprisoned for 6 years behind an iron mask. All that remains now is D'Artagnan, will he stand against his long time friends, or do what is best for his country?

They begin to dress Phillippe in a masquerade costume.
ARAMIS:
Remember, Phillippe... nobility is born in the heart.
ATHOS:
Hold your goblet with two fingers.
PORTHOS:
And make love as if you don't care.
The way Kings do. And fart whenever you wish.
Aramis tucks a note into Phillippe's pocket.
ARAMIS:
Remember, all you have to do is get through tonight. Smile and nod a lot, and if you get stuck just wave and announce, "Continue." In the morning you hand this note to d'Artagnan, pardoning Athos and instructing that he, Aramis and Porthos be brought to the palace as your advisors. And all is well.
Phillippe nods; everyone's nervous. Aramis grabs more clothes and hands them out.
ARAMIS:
Now the rest of us.
EXT. THE PALACE - NIGHT Carriages disgorge guests, wildly attired for the masquerade ball. Porthos' carriage pulls in among them.
INT. PALACE BALLROOM - NIGHT A magnificent masquerade ball is in full swirl; the dazzling light of chandeliers bounces off the gilt ceiling and sparkles on the jewels of swirling dancers, their numbers multiplied in the polished mirrors that line the walls.
The King is dancing and laughing with sexy young ladies.
D'Artagnan stands to the side of the ballroom, ever watchful, ever remote.
As the dancers swirl, each one wearing a distinctive mask in the garish style favored by the French nobility of the 1600's, we see one particular couple -- a large man, with an excessively large woman. They are dancing vigorously, and as they take a break behind a huge pillar, they lift their masks enough for us to see that the man is Aramis, and the "woman" is Porthos.
From the folds of their elaborate costumes they both withdraw replicas of the iron mask that Phillippe once wore.
PORTHOS:
D'Artagnan watches everything. We have to be lucky.
ARAMIS:
We will make our own luck tonight... if Phillippe holds up.
Aramis peers across the ballroom, to where Athos and Phillippe mix among the revelers, using thin sticks to hold broad masks to their faces. Behind the masks we see their eyes -- Athos' intense, Phillippe's nervous and darting.
ATHOS:
Stay calm, you're doing fine.
Then Phillippe's eyes go strangely still; he sees, for the first time in his life, his twin brother, the King.
PHILLIPPE: My brother... Louis dances the minuet, prancing as if he is the center of the universe; but this bliss is broken when one of the dancers who swirls by him -- it is Aramis -- lifts the baroque outer mask he's wearing and reveals an iron mask beneath.
The King staggers, stopping. The sight stuns him, confuses him; he looks around but the wearer of the mask has disappeared among the weaving patterns of dancers. Louis' hands dart to his eyes: are they playing tricks on him?
Seeing his reaction, Phillippe whispers -- PHILLIPPE: He knew. He knew what they did to me.
The YOUNG BEAUTY dancing with Louis notices him falter.
YOUNG BEAUTY: What is wrong, your majesty?
