These four nuns of the Cistercian convent of the strict observance get trapped in the hands of Jaime Miro, a basque rebel wanted by the GOE. As it turns out, a slip of the tongue during a conversation with the nuns leads to a predicament which forces Jaime Miro to carry along the four nuns with his gang and escort them to their destination.
