After the death of the deposed King Louis XVI of France, two brothers with the help of the Scarlet Pimpernel band together in an effort to rescue the former Queen Marie-Antoinette, and her children and the King's youngest sister whom are all held up in the Temple Prison. Disclaimer: I do not own anything about the Scarlet Pimpernel. All the stories about him and his adventures are due to the genius that was the Baroness Emma Orczy.
