Synopsis
The sound waves created by jet planes passing over the convent school of Saint Domitilla in a small Italian town are destroying the convent's ancient fresco and disturbing the children. To remedy the situation, Sister Celeste and Mother Rachele are driven to Rome by Spugna, the convent handyman, to see Livio Bertana, the general manager of the airline responsible. Damiano, an orphan from the convent, stows away in the car. The nuns give Bertana no peace in trying to get him to change the airplane routes; they even go to his home. Elena, his mistress, is charmed by Damiano. Meanwhile, Batistucchi, an airline executive, is plotting to get Bertana's job by accusing him of mismanagement at the stockholders' meeting. To get money for the nuns to buy airline stock so that they can get into the stockholders' meeting, Spugna enters and wins a judo contest. Bertana resigns his job at the meeting, but the nuns take over the meeting, and their explanation saves Bertana's job. He agrees to change the air routes, but the nuns continue to meddle in his life until he marries Elena and adopts Damiano. Back at the convent, Sister Celeste is visited by a nun from a neighboring town who complains about jets passing over her school. Sister Celeste tells her not to worry because she has a dear friend in Rome who will remedy the situation.
