The Queen Of Swords Premise

A young woman returns to her home in California after her father’s mysterious death. There, she becomes a symbol, the queen of swords, fighting for justice and trying to right the wrongs the colonel has done.

Brought to us by the same producer, creative people, and some of the same actors of Highlander: The Series!

The Queen Of Swords

aka The Dr Robert Helm Show

“... the Queen of Swords finds an unlikely comrade in Robert Helm (played by Peter Wingfield), an English Doctor who trades his musket for a scalpel, vowing to save lives, not take them. He has little patience for Tessa, believing her to be a spoiled member of the nobility, and less for the Queen of Swords, despising the blades with which she deals justice, yet Helm keeps finding himself strangely attracted to the beautiful avenger in black.”

— from Highlander Fan Central and the Queen of Swords Presskit
