Meanwhile Sr. Mary Catherine becomes friends with the other nuns. They are enamored with her unorthodox way of doing things. Longing for the old life Sr. Clarence escapes across the street to a bar. She is followed by some of the other nuns. She convinces them that she is spreading the Lord’s message to all people regardless of whom or where they are. The Rev. Mother is furious and punishes Sr. Clarence by assigning her to work with the nunnery choir. She develops their voices and eventually they sing for Sunday services. This brings in the neighbors much to the liking of the Monsignor. When the Rev. Mother decides to resign because she feels she is no long respected, Sr. Clarence leaves.
