Accusations, mistaken identities, and romances run wild in this traditional, laugh-out- loud farce. Two nuns at the convent, “Sisters of Perpetual Sewing” have been secretly making wine to keep the convent's doors open, but Paul and Sally, reporters and former fiancĂ©e's, are hot on their trail. They go undercover as a nun and priest, but their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia throughout the convent.
