One of Carlos' assistants, Leonardo, is in love with Gloria Davenport, and he and Sister Bertrille convince the Mother General to go along with the idea. However the public may not think it's a good idea as silent films may be seen as outdated entertainment. When the sisters, without the Mother General, view the movie in a private screening, they too may think the same way - the formerly dramatic film is campy by 1960s sensibilities. But it's too late to back out since they have already sold out the event, raising $1,200. However they can't embarrass the Mother General. Carlos comes up with a plan to call the Mother General back to Culebra on convent business on the night of the screening. During the screening, the audience is laughing uproariously. Unfortunately, the Mother General has found a way to make it back to the screening. Upon hearing the laughter, she is at first hurt, but then examines the movie herself, and joins in with the laughter. Written by Huggo See less
