Synopsis


Dr. John Carpenter is a hip, devoted doctor heading a clinic in a Latin-Negro slum neighborhood. Three nuns, Sister Michelle, Sister Irene and Sister Barbara, are instructed to do social work in the ghetto, and change their habit (nun's garb) in favor of modern dress. They do good work but their mission is misunderstood by more conservative elements in the Church and they must take up the habit again. Then Dr. John Carpenter discovers the nurse he loves is a nun.
After more good works, the girls are further misunderstood and sent back to the convent where Sister Michelle pines for Dr. John Carpenter. She returns to the old neighborhood to watch Dr. John Carpenter leading a rock 'n' roll mass. She must make a choice, Dr. John Carpenter or the Church. Which one she picks is left for the audience to decide.
