Saving people in France during the dangerous days of the Revolution, Sir Percy (Richard E. Grant) dons the attire and demeanor of the Scarlet Pimpernel. Like Zorro, the Pimpernel must rescue people from murdering terrorists, but to do so Sir Percy must adopt the demeanor of a foppish pantywaist. One of his deadliest enemies is Chauvelin (Martin Shaw) who works for the dangerous Robespierre (Ronan Vibert). In fact, Sir Percy’s own wife Marguerite (Elizabeth McGovern) may be in jeopardy and may have revealed his identity in all the confusion of trying to save royalists from execution. The Pimpernel must forgive his wife and save her too. |
