18th century English aristocrat Sir Percy Blakeney leads a double life. He appears to be merely the effete aristocrat, but in reality is part of an underground effort to free French nobles from Robespierre's Reign of Terror.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie's primary elements are 18th-century adventure and historical drama surrounding the French Revolution. The only detected 'Christmas element' is a 'Holiday Release,' which is irrelevant to the narrative content. There are no substantial narrative, thematic, or iconic connections to Christmas."
