It is the fall of 1793, the dark days of the Revolution, and the Reign of Terror has taken many lives. The fragile child of the de Croissy's is ill and they must take him in countryside, on doctor's recommendations. However the travel permits are required and they are impossible to get. A friend of a couple, lovely Jossete, thinks of a way out and summons a heroic Scarlet Pimpernel to the rescue.
