- Feature propaganda film and a wartime sequel to The SCARLET PIMPERNEL (d. Harold Young, 1934) also starring Leslie Howard. In the weeks prior to the outbreak of the Second World War, an English archaeologist is responsible for a series of daring rescues of important scientists and humanitarians from Nazi-occupied territories.
