Eccentric Cambridge archaeologist Horatio Smith takes a group of British and American archaeology students to pre-war Nazi Germany to help in his excavations. His research is supported by the Nazis, since he professes to be looking for evidence of the Aryan origins of German civilisation. However, he has a secret agenda: to free inmates of the concentration camps.

In “Pimpernel Smith,” Leslie Howard crafts an adaptation of the "Scarlet Pimpernel" story, setting it during the lead-up to WWII. By directing the film himself, Howard seamlessly aligns the movie with his vision of the character, delivering a masterful performance. While it contains a few preachy moments and lacks action, the film still offers an enjoyable and compelling journey.
