In France, the Reign of Terror is in full sway under Robespierre, who sends former allies and friends to the guillotine. Jean Tallien and his lover Theresa Cobarrus fear that Tallien will be taken in one of these purges before the time is right to bring Robespierre down and end the horror. Although Sir Percy Blakeney, the Scarlet Pimpernel, has returned to England, the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel continues to rescue victims of the revolution. Robespierre threatens Chauvelin with execution unless he can snare Blakeney and bring him to justice.
