Plot summary

Michelle Gallagher, Irene Hawkins, and Barbara Bennett are three nuns on the verge of taking their final vows. Just before they do, they are sent into a particularly-rough neighborhood to see if they are ready to take that step. However, they must do so by pretending to be lay missionaries sent to work at an inner-city clinic for a young doctor, John Carpenter. The three nuns go about their duties without a hitch until Michelle begins to fall for John. Now Michelle must choose between her love for the young doctor or her life as a nun.—Brian Washington
