When Brian and Charlie are assigned to rob a dangerous triad, they devise a plan to double-cross their boss and keep the money for themselves. In a bid to evade both their boss and the police, they decide to hide at a nearby convent, posing as nuns.

Disguised in habits and eager to maintain their cover, Brian and Charlie endeavor to behave like proper nuns, facing several humorous challenges along the way.
