In this modern retelling of the Robin Hood story set in modern-day Mexico, a female sneak thief steals money from bad people. She pickpockets, safe-cracks and steals her way across Mexico. The police are hot on her trail, but she is also the master of disguise and an escape artist, able to fool the police at every turn. After an accidental stint as an airline stewardess, she takes refuge in an impoverished convent which runs an orphanage, disguised as a nun. To help feed the orphans and help the Sisters, she plies her trade to the benefit of the Holy Order.
