Short summary

In 1793 Sir Percy learns that Lady Marguerite's brother, Armand St. Just, was arrested for a crime against France. Later Chauvelin imprisons her as well at La Force. The League now seeks to free both.

Sir Percy at one point describes Fumier, who is Chauvelin's man and who spies for him, as a "turd". The word Fumier in French translates as "dung" or "manure".

    This is just one of the best Scarlet Pimpernel series l have ever seen, Richard E Grant is ideal as the Pimpernel and Martin Shaw stands out at the evil Chauvelin, the series also benefits from having the same director Patrick Lau all through series 1 & 2.

    It's not hard to get these films as most can be bought from any of the Pound shops, but well worth the £6 if you can get all 6 parts, l have to mention also Elizabeth McGovern who plays the Pimpernels wife Marguerite, all in all a well acted, well staged production, and seeing that guillotine from time to time makes one shiver at the very thought of it...
