When a dying abbess (Dame Edith Evans) of a Pennsylvania convent is ready to name Sister Alexandra (Glenda_Jackson) as her successor, Sister Alexandra and her two flunkies (Sandy_Dennis and Anne_Jackson) try to get the abbess to sign a document of intent. But their plans are dashed when liberal Sister Felicity (Susan_Penhaligon) arrives and wants to change the institution.
