Paris in 1794: the guillotine works without rest and Robespierre’s grip is beginning to slip. Sir Percy Blakeney, the elusive Scarlet Pimpernel, is in the city again to rescue the innocent, while the beautiful, ambitious Theresia Cabarrus and his old enemy Chauvelin lay a trap designed to catch him at last.
