After witnessing a mob murder, Reno
lounge singer Deloris Van Cartier (Whoopi Goldberg) trades her sequins and
feathers for a rosary and a habit when she is forced to go incognito as Sister
Mary Clarence. This reluctant "nun" transforms a horrible church choir
into a heaven-sent performing dynamo and saves a parish from being demolished
in the process.
