France, 1794. Citizen Chauvelin lays a trap for his long-standing nemesis Sir Percy Blakeney (Barry K. Barnes) by kidnapping his wife (Sophie Stewart).

The Scarlet Pimpernel, Sir Percy Blakeney, decides not to go back to France for a year after having promised this to his beloved wife, Lady Blakeney. However, Chauvelin plots and succeeds in kidnapping the Lady Blakeney and brings her to France, expecting her husband to follow so he can arrest the elusive Pimpernel. The plot works, but Sir Percy and his friends manage to find the Lady and almost succeed in bringing her back with them. However, Chauvelin manages to get the lady again and the League have to go back to rescue her a second time.
