Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Agents Kelly and Scotty carry on a battle of wits with duplicitious British spy George Hackaby (Peter Lawford), known to his friends (?) as "Double-O Cross." Our heroes compete with Hackaby to locate $14,000,000 worth of Nazi art treasures. As it turns out, the gardener in a Spanish convent is the only person who knows where the treasures are hidden-and he has taken a vow of silence. Best bit: Kelly reads aloud from Poe's "Cask of Amontillado" as Scotty temporarily seals the troublesome Hackaby in a brick wall. Lila Skala and Vincent Gardenia are costarred respectively as Sister Superior and Dr. Mellado. Scripted by Marion Hargrove from a story by Barbara and Milton Merlin, "Get Thee to a Nunnery" was first broadcast on March 1, 1967.
