Contrived story of two nuns who follow up on their promise to God to build a hospital in New England after WWII. Despite arriving with no money, no land and no plan, they get "help" every step of the way. Coincidence, and more often guilt, is their real secret weapon. Filled with soaring choirs, violins and the angelic face of Loretta Young as the nun who won't take no for an answer.
