Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In the conclusion of the two-part "Great Casino Robbery," Sr. Bertrille and her light-fingered Uncle Reggie (Alan Hale Jr.) are accused of masterminded a heist at Carlos Ramirez' casino. Meanwhile, the genuine thief, a brassy blonde named Faye (Ruta Lee), is hiding in Convent San Tanco, posing as one Sister Mary Grace. Sr. Bertrille must figure out a way to escape jail without arousing the suspicions of the diligent-and dimwitted-Police Captain Fomento. Written by Michael Morris, Part Two of "Great Casino Robbery" first aired on February 6, 1969, at which time The Flying Nun switched its Thursday-night timeslot from 8:00 PM EST to 7:30 PM.
