Its 1802 in post-Revolution Paris, the heads may have stopped rolling, but the guillotine still casts a long and terrifying shadow over surviving members of the Aristocracy. Not least the beautiful young Comtesse Lynetta de Marigny, hiding, terrified, in the bowels of the Chteau de Marigny, from its hateful new owner, who is bent on sending her, like her parents, to Madame Guillotine. When the dashingly decadent Darril, Earl of Charncliffe, arrives at the Chteau to buy fine French furniture and objets dart for his English country seat at the request of his new fiance the Incomparable Elaine Dale, he is instantly smitten by this delicate, terrified and helpless beauty. It seems his beloved Elaine is not so incomparable after all. The Earl is Lynettas Knight in Shining Armour as he smuggles her away, rolled up Cleopatra-like in a rug. Pursued by murderous revolutionaries, they make their escape posing as honeymooning newlyweds under the nose of Napoleon Bonaparte himself. But secretly love struck Lynetta yearns for their swooning charade to be real and forever.
