Based on a true story, Matrons and Madams is a sprawling saga of a teacher-turned-madam and a lady superintendent of a hospital, who join forces to combat the rampant venereal disease that spreads throughout Alberta once soldiers return from the Great War, and also to improve the lives of the women in the brothels of Lethbridge.
