From the tranquil lanes of London, they are drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror, and they soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine. ◾◾◾◾◾◾◾◾◾◾◾ " I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss.

On his eventual return to London the two of them become witnesses in a treason case against Charles Darney who is accused of giving secrets to the French.
