The New Academy

About the show

After merchant Matchill disowns his spendthrift half-brother Strigood, Strigood recruits Matchill’s apprentice Cash and the merchant’s displaced daughter Gabriella into a sham academy teaching fashionable accomplishments. The scheme entangles two families in mistaken identities, attempted exploitation and cross-generational marriage plots before their children’s true identities are revealed and couples are properly matched.
