At the height of the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror, a mysterious daredevil rescues French aristocrats from execution and smuggles them out of France. This secretive escape artist is known to the French authorities only by the drawings of a flower, the Scarlet Pimpernel, that he leaves as his calling card.

Marguerite St Just is a beautiful French actress who just married to the English baronet Sir Percy Blakeney and has avoided the worst of the revolutionary turmoil by setting in England, but even there, she is unable to escape the effects of the Revolution, and she is soon blackmailed into a position where she must assist the French ambassador to England in capturing the elusive man.
