When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder, she is placed in witness protection in a convent. Clashing spectacularly with the strict Mother Superior, Deloris takes over the church choir and transforms the tone-deaf nuns into a soul-singing sensation that packs the pews — but the publicity threatens to expose her hiding place to the gangster who wants her dead.
