The Flower Woman

Overview

The lovely Comtesse la Valliere, formerly a spy for Chauvelin, changes sides when she learns of the impending execution of dozens of moderate French revolutionaries. Teaming with the Scarlet Pimpernel and his men, the Comtesse plans to rescue the condemned men — from under Chauvelin's nose. Sir Percy, dressed as a blind man and the Comtesse as a flower woman, try to save the prisoners in an event known as the September Massacres. However, only 30 are saved and they find that her friend has already been executed.
