Paris, 1792. Each day scores of the French nobility feed the guillotine. They are trapped in the capital. There is no escape. But rumours whisper of a league of young English gentlemen of unparalleled daring who are rsiking their lives to spirit aristocrats across the Channel. They leave no trace behind them except a note from the Scarlette Pimpernel.
