When her superior, MOTHER THERESA, receives a letter from MAJOR JOHN MACBRIDE asking for medical aid in a growing war in South Africa, she does not hesitate to send Diana. Diana and a small group of nuns board a Red Cross Hospital ship bound for South Africa. When the ship breaks down, Diana devises a plan and finds three South African Guides who agree to lead the nuns through South Africa until they reach Vereeniging. From there, they take a train to Pretoria. Aboard the train, Diana sets her eyes on a handsome doctor, JUAN. Diana will be the only one at Volks Hospital in Pretoria to help with the patients since she has studied nursing. Diana soon works with Juan, who provides medical support at the hospital.
