Drama (Scarlet Pimpernel / Sir Percy Blakeney)

REG leads a double life as the daring Scarlet Pimpernel – A crack shot, accomplished horseman – and the foppish English aristocrat Sir Percy Blakeney – one of the richest men in England. While the Pimpernel swashbuckles and romances his way through the bloodiest days of revolutionary France with his faithful followers – the League of Gentlemen – Sir Percy is every bit the upper-class toff back in England.

Elizabeth McGovern is Sir Percy’s beautiful French wife Marguerite, who suspects his dark secret and will risk anything to save him from exposure. Martin Shaw is Chauvelin, the head of the revolutionary secret police and the Pimpernel’s sworn enemy.
