Michael Strogoff, a courier of the Russian Czar, is sent on a perilous mission to deliver a vital message to the Grand Duke, defending Siberia against a Tartar attack. But when Michael is captured and blinded, all appears to be lost. French playwright Adolphe d'Ennery has adapted Jules Verne's classic novel of suspense, and Frank J. Morlock has once again translated this wonderful work into modern English.
