The Scarlet Pimpernel

From the famous novel by Baroness Orczy, this is the fictionalized story of Sir Percy Blakeney, the saviour of the French aristocracy during the bloody revolution of the 18th century. Known as a dandy British aristocrat to his friends by day, he is, in truth, the daring rescuer known as the Scarlet Pimpernel, risking his own neck to save French noblemen from the guillotine by night.
