Capitalising on the huge success of The Scarlet Pimpernel, this Alexander Korda-produced sequel stars Barry K. Barnes as the enigmatic saviour of aristocrats during the Revolutionary Terror. The final film directed by Austrian émigré Hanns Schwartz, The Return of the Scarlet Pimpernel also stars James Mason, Sophie Stewart, and Francis Lister as Sir Percy's ruthless arch-enemy, Chauvelin.

The film is featured here in a brand-new transfer from the original elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. This transfer, however, has intermittent, decades-old film damage so the previously released archive transfer is also included as an alternative viewing experience.

Sir Percy – alias the Scarlet Pimpernel – is being pressured by his wife, Marguerite, to retire from his daring escapades. The French still want the Pimpernel's head, however, and so set a trap for him involving the bold rescue of a Spanish actress and her lover!
