The Scarlet Pimpernel Meets Mademoiselle
Guillotine.
Drama (Scarlet
Pimpernel / Sir Percy Blakeney)
Richard Grant returns
to his role as the foppish British aristocrat who leads a dangerous
double life in this second Scarlet Pimpernel movie.
At a party thrown
by the Blakeneys in London, the Marquis du Rochambeau, an old friend
of Marguerite's, arrives with a story of woe and a plea for help in
rescuing his daughter, who is trapped-though safe-in France, with the
Revolutionary authorities looking for her. The Pimpernel immediately
undertakes a mercy mission, but once in France, he is nearly undone
by a farmer who reveals his presence the Chauvelin, who is also looking
for the Marquis' daughter. It is just the first of many deceptions,
betrayals and stunning turns that complicate what at first seemed to
be a rather straightforward rescue.
