THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL.

In 1792, at the bloody height of the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, vengeful French mobs are outraged when again and again French aristocrats are saved from death by the "Band of the Scarlet Pimpernel", a secret society of 20 English noblemen. Among the latest scheduled for execution are the Count de Tournay, former ambassador to Great Britain, and his family. But one of his men visits them in prison disguised as a priest and gives them a message of hope. The countess and her daughter are rescued and spirited away to England.
