In the eyes of high society, Sir Percy Blakeney (Anthony Andrews) is a typical fop, surrounded by adoring ladies and clueless gentry. However, he is also a master of disguise and bears an infamous secret identity: the Scarlet Pimpernel, dashing and fearless rescuer of victims of the French Revolution! Sir Percy also falls head over heels for the beautiful Marguerite (Jane Seymour), who is also wooed by the villainous Paul Chauvelin (Ian McKellan), Robespierre's Chief Agent for the Committee of National Security.
