It all started out so simply — Sister Bertrille and Carlos Ramirez, her long-suffering friend, were taking two of the children on a picnic in the mountains. But nothing Sister Bertrille ever did ended simply, no matter how it started out.
Neither did the picnic...
For the little party got hopelessly lost and made the unfortunate mistake of trusting Sister Bertrille, an ex-girl scout, to lead them out. She led them out, all right — directly into the heart of a secret military installation deep under the mountain, past highly-trained guards, past elaborate spy-trap devices, past sophisticated "early warning" systems — right into the waiting arms of nervous Major Cleaver, whose suspicious nature saw a spy in every stranger, and a bomb in every picnic basket.
Convinced that spying was for the birds, Sister Bertrille tried to set things right — and introduced the military to the world's greatest weapon: utter confusion!
