The Scarlet Pimpernel
Set during the French Revolution, a period of terror and distrust, The Scarlet Pimpernel  introduces us to Marguerite Blakeney, Europe's most beautiful woman, married to England's richest fop, Sir Percy Blakeney.  Chauvelin, a spy obsessed with one cause, capturing the Scarlet Pimpernel, a hero to the condemned aristocrats all around France, pleads with Marguerite, formerly a French actress, to help her homeland and spy for him.  She refuses, knowing it would be immoral to condemn such a brave man to such a cruel death.  Chauvelin finds a scrap of paper indicating that her brother, Armand Armand, the only person Marguerite still loves, is in league with the Scarlet Pimpernel.  With this evidence, he blackmails Marguerite: she must either send a brave, honest, daring man to a cruel death, or condemn her brother, her own flesh and blood, to be guillotined.  Her choice sets off a strange domino effect which changes her life forever.
