Sister Felicitus (Ann Cuyer) called a meeting of the seven to find out how they got there. Finally Sister t.oluinba (Kathy O’Donnell) confessed that she had prayed to Saint Joseph to take her away from the cold and take her to warm weather because of her arthritis. Their sudden departure from South Bend had caused quite a commotion and embarrassment all over the world. However Sister Columba felt that to pray for their return would be a sign of ingratitude. Two of the sisters went into town to buy some fish and to call Souh Bend. They went into a night club to get change and came back wih bags of quarters and half dollars. Mr. Kdelman (Neal Kosenau), owner of the night club, came out to the convent and tried to get the sisters to pay rent for the land. When the news of the convent spread in Las Vegas everyone began taking instruc- tions. The night clubs began to close. Even three of Mr. Edelman's hostesses (Diane Bienas, Carolyn Kin- sey. Gay Miller) wanted to become nuns. Mr. Edelman begged the sisters to leave. Finally Sister Columba prayed to Saint Joseph ex- plaining the situation and they were returned to Indiana. The other members of the cast were Janice Bozck. Vir- ginia Block. Kitty Cummings. Joyce Murdock, Glenna Tolbert. Sheila Gracie, and Tarry Davis.
