Mysterious English nobleman Sir Percy Blakeney adopts a range of clever disguises in order to rescue innocent victims from the guillotine during the French Revolution. Together with his band of helpers he defies his cruel adversary Citizen Chauvelin with great courage and daring, never revealing his true identity even to Marguerite, the woman with whom he falls in love.The swashbuckling Pimpernel is like an early James Bond, foiling the most devious enemies and devising ingenious escape plans. The classic story has been filmed many times, most famously for the 1934 movie starring Leslie Howard and Merle Oberon.
