More about the show and a great offer from Abbey Park
When Leo and Jack hear that a wealthy woman in a nearby town is about to die, leaving her fortune to a pair of long-lost relatives, they resolve to put their acting talents to more profitable use. The complications begin when Leo and Jack discover that the long-lost relatives are female, and continue when Leo falls in love with the old woman’s niece, who is engaged to the local minister.
