The Musketeers (Danish: '''Gøngehøvdingen''') is a 1961 Danish family film directed by Annelise Hovmand and starring Jens Østerholm. It was followed by the 1963 film Dronningens vagtmester.
The film is set in 1658, as war goes on, and winter is cold and harsh. The Swedish King Karl X Gustav, who is drawn with his army from Germany and staying in Jutland, can easily access Copenhagen. In South Zealand, the cuckolds fight against the Swedish supremacy under the leadership of Svend Poulsen, who is called the Gønhøvdingen. Svend gets an unofficial assignment from King Frederik III; to travel to Vordingborg Church to collect 50,000 Rigsdaler and securities belonging to the King. Then the assets must be relocated from Vordingborg to Copenhagen to pay for Copenhagen's defense, and it is imperative that they arrive in time. Svend gets help from his brother-in-law, Ib Abel. Together, Svend and Ib try to get past the Swedish lines as silently as possible, but it is not so easy as they are hunted by a mad German captain and his witch.
