Set during the French Reign of Terror, "The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel" follows the enigmatic Sir Percy Blakeney. By day, he's a fop, the picture of a clueless, wealthy Englishman. But by night, he's the daring Scarlet Pimpernel, leading a secret league that rescues victims from the guillotine.
Marguerite, his beautiful French wife, is torn between her love for Percy and her growing suspicion of his hidden activities. Meanwhile, the ruthless Citizen Chauvelin, determined to unmask the Pimpernel, pursues him relentlessly. With wit, daring escapes, and a touch of romance, the story unfolds, revealing the true hero beneath the fop's facade.
