Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Vito Scotti makes his first appearance on The Flying Nun as relentless-and relentlessly stupid-Police Captain Fomento. Establishing a pattern for all future episodes, Fomento is convinced that the Convent San Tanco is running an illegal gambling operation when, attending a charity bazaar, he loses 25 dollars-and a box of fudge--on a wheel-of-fortune donated by casino owner Carlos Ramirez. In the course of his investigation, the good Captain manages to make Inspector Clouseau look like Columbo in comparison. Written by Arthur Julian, "The Crooked Convent" first aired on October 3, 1968.
