Sir Percy Blakeney leads a secret society known as the \"League of the Scarlet Pimpernel,\" dedicated to rescuing French aristocrats from the Reign of Terror's guillotine. As the mysterious Scarlet Pimpernel, he hides behind his persona as a dull-witted nobleman to carry out daring rescues. When Marguerite is blackmailed by the cunning French envoy Chauvelin, she unwittingly aids in exposing the Pimpernel's identity, only to later discover, to her shock, that her husband is the man behind the mask.
