The Scarlet Pimpernel

"Match courage with courage... meet cunning with cunning!"

18th century English aristocrat Sir Percy Blakeney leads a double life. He appears to be merely the effete aristocrat, but in reality is part of an underground effort to free French nobles from Robespierre's Reign of Terror.
