In the midst of the French Revolution, Pierre, a young firebrand, convinces a group of rabble to rise up against the local duc. Coming across the carriage of the duc’s daughter on their march, Pierre assaults her, is run over by the carriage, and disappears. Looking to punish someone for the uprising, the duc has Pierre’s father hanged. Years later, Pierre has changed his name, gathered some wealth, and ingratiated himself with the duc (who does not know him). Pierre has plans to avenge his father’s death against both the duc and his daughter, and he has enlisted the aid of Chauvelin, the Scarlet Pimpernel’s avowed enemy. The Pimpernel will have all he can handle if he is to foil Pierre’s plans. Although published a few years after El Dorado, this sixth published book in the series is set prior to it in the timeline.

A prologue in 1789 shows the discontented peasantry rising against the arrogant Duc de Kernogan, and his ruthless execution of the ringleader's innocent father. Four years later, the Duc is in exile, and bargaining to give his daughter to a rich merchant who promises funds to the royalist cause. Yvonne, the daughter, has other plans, and elopes with Lord Tony, one of the Scarlet Pimpernel's loyal band. The Duc and the merchant plot to abduct her - but the reader knows what the Duc does not, that the supposed merchant is the revolt's ringleader in disguise, and out for revenge on the whole family. The Duc thinks that they are taking the girl to Holland, but the ship steers for Nantes, where the revolutionaries are in firm control, and atrocities like the mass drowning of priests have taken place. The second half of the book takes place in Nantes, as the Scarlet Pimpernel takes on the seemingly impossible task of rescuing Lord Tony's wife from a fate worse than death.
