Plot
A couple of 1930s convicts, jailed on never-specified charges, are dragged along when a vicious killer escapes the electric chair. The two end up in a town near the Canadian border, where they are mistaken for a pair of priests expected at the local monastery. They want to flee but cannot, since misunderstandings, and the arrival of their companion Bobby, make the trip to Canada almost impossible. They continue to masquerade as priests while looking for an opportunity to cross the border into Canada. An opportunity presents itself in the form of a procession/pilgrimage to the church's sister church across the border. Each priest participating has to bring along someone who needs help, so they decide on the deaf daughter of local laundress and prostitute.[1]
