Film Synopsis

In Paris, Sister Angèle has yet to take her final vows.  In the meantime, she occupies herself by looking after sick children.  One day, in the course of her duties, she witnesses a murder and sees the culprit running away.  She is then sent to Marseille to meet up with a party of nuns who have returned to France with some Eurasian orphans, survivors of the war in Indochina.  It is here that she recognises the killer she saw earlier, Marcello.  He confesses to the murder and Sister Angèle takes it on herself to hand him over to the police.
