Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Determined to learn to read and write, middle-aged grocer Pedro (Albert Paulsen) makes a shambles out of Sr. Bertrille's convent classroom. Pedro also succeeds in driving a visiting bishop (Oliver McGowan), crazy, which bodes ill for the long-suffering Reverend Mother. Sr. Bertrille discovers that Pedro's sudden interest in literacy stems from his desire to write a love letter to his sweetheart. First broadcast on February 22, 1968, "Cyrano de Bertrille" was written by Paul Wayne.
