Sir Percy Blakeney presents himself as a dim-witted, foppish playboy, but in fact he is a master of disguise, an imaginative planner, a formidable swordsman and a quick-thinking escape artist who rescues individuals sentenced to death by the guillotine. With each rescue he taunts his enemies by leaving behind a card showing a small flower-a scarlet pimpernel. His secret is kept by a band of friends known as the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel.
