Summary
Sister Agnès has become so bored with her life in a convent that
she decides to run away to Paris. Whilst looking in vain for a
job, she meets Mona Lisa, a kind-hearted prostitute who invites her to
share her way of life. Through her new friend’s tutelage,
Agnès learns all the secrets of her new profession, but one
problem leads to another and Agnès ends up looking for more
suitable work. One day, she finds it as an ambulance
driver. Agnès and Mona Lisa take advantage of the
situation by using the ambulance in their prostitution racket.
Very soon, the two woman have the police running after them, and they
end up seeking sanctuary in the last place they expected...
