Storyline

Worn-out mother of eight Nora Harding is distraught to find herself pregnant again and Jenny is shocked that Nora and her husband and children live in a cramped,rat-infested apartment. Nora visits an illegal abortionist and almost dies before Sister Julienne intervenes and the family is rehoused. Sister Monica Joan feigns illness to prevent herself from going on holiday as she fears she may never return as the other nuns see her as useless. However when the convent's summer fete requires a judge for the baby show and first choice, handsome television star Clifford Raines, is a non-starter after throwing himself at Trixie, the elderly nun rises to the occasion. Meanwhile Sister Bernadette fights her feelings for local Dr Turner.
