Nunsense is Dan Goggin's original 'sister act' that spawned a series of sequels and a cult like following about the Little Sisters of Hoboken who operate Mt. Helen's School in New Jersey.
One day their cook, Sister Julia, serves some tainted soup and 52 sisters die. A handful, who were off playing bingo aren't affected: the Reverend Monther, Sister Mary Leo, Sister Mary Hubert, Sister Robert Anne (the one who drives the car) and Sister Mary Amnesia (who can't remember her name). To raise money to bury their sisters, they stage a talent show with hysterical results.
