Barbara Rush and Kristine Holland are a pair of nuns who by order of the governor of Texas himself are being given a Ranger escort to their destination. Before they learn it was nuns they were escorting, our three problem children for Captain Parmalee try to trick the others out of the assignment.

It's William Smith and Peter Brown who get the assignment and the sisters go to an abandoned mission with the intention of setting up a school and a clinic for the Comanches. Rush happens to be a doctor as well and at least one Comanche, medicine man Henry Brandon objects because he will lose his practice.

But the real danger comes from Christopher Dark and his gang who hid their accumulated loot under the abandoned mission.

Let's say some interesting alliances are formed.

Lots of fun and laughs here and a chance to see William Smith in all his glory in his beefcake days.

Reese (Neville Brand), Chad (Peter Brown), and Joe (William Smith), argue about volunteering as escort for two of the Governor's friends. The Rangers are excited to help, when Capt. Parmalee (Philip Carey) reveals they are two French sisters. However, the women turn out to be nuns Barbara Rush (as Sister Williams) and Kristina Holland (as Sister Joan of Arc). The holy twosome want to re-open an old mission, but get into trouble with some nasty Comanches.

Despite the danger, the nuns insist on doing God's work, with Chad and Joe chastely watching over them. Reese does not stick around, after his opening scenes. The sisters manage to get some of the "Red Men" out of their Teepees and into the Church. Later, the facility is revealed to be where the "Ford Gang" has stashed some booty, leading to a Comanche/Ranger team-up.

Later, Ms. Rush shed her habit to become a regular on "Peyton Place", and Ms. Holland got a job as Bill Bixby's secretary on "The Courtship of Eddie's Father".
