Lucita has been locked away in a convent by her family in order to keep her away from her lover, Esteban. The pair make plans to elope, but Esteban is accused of heresy before Lucita can escape. Hiding in the convent, Esteban discovers the horrifying depravity of the convent's abbess, Sister Incarnation.
What I find most interesting about this film is the criticism it gets from fans of exploitation and horror, saying that the nuns were not "sinful" enough compared to other "nunsploitation" films of the 1970s (a subgenre apparently kicked off by Ken Russell with "The Devils"). Sure, there is really pretty much one nun being terrible, but the institution itself is a mess!
