. The series focuses on Sister Bertrille, a young, idealistic novice nun who discovers she can fly, whose order teaches largely underprivileged and orphaned children and assists the poor of a diverse Hispanic community (a rare setting for American network TV in the era). In the hour-long series pilot, Chicago native Elsie Ethrington arrives in San Juan from New York City after her arrest for having been involved in a free speech protest; she then adopts the name of Sister Bertrille. It is also later learned (in the episode "My Sister, The Sister") that Sister Bertrille comes from a family of physicians, and that she is the only member of that family who did not follow in their footsteps. She instead became a nun, joining the Convent San Tanco, after being impressed by the missionary work of her aunt, and broke up with her toy salesman boyfriend of eight months. Sister Bertrille could be relied upon to solve any problem that came her way by her ability to catch a passing breeze and fly. This was generally attributed to her weighing under , high winds at the Convent high on the ocean bluffs, and the large, heavily starched

that was the headpiece for her

habit A habit (or wont as a humorous and formal term) is a routine of behavior that is repeated regularly and tends to occur subconsciously.

(The cornette was based on one worn until the middle 1960s by the Daughters of Charity, although Sister Bertrille was never said to belong to that order. Indeed, the order which included the Convent San Tanco was never actually specified in the series.). Her flying talents could cause as many problems as they solved, per the sitcom format, but she most often used her gift to help people, or at least with good intentions. She explains her ability to fly by stating, "When lift plus thrust is greater than load plus drag, anything can fly." In one episode, she tries to gain weight so she could stay grounded, but the attempt fails. Additionally, in the first-season episode "Young Man with a Cornette," she specifically tells a young boy who intended to use her cornette to fly that there were many factors other than her weight (which was distributed differently from that of the boy) that made her flying possible. She was unable to take off when heavy rains caused her starched cornette to lose its shape, when she had to wear something that would keep her grounded at all times, or, on one occasion in the episode titled "The Flying Dodo", when an inner ear infection caused her to lose her balance. For a series often accused of being outlandish (often by its title rather than its true content), ''The Flying Nun'' treated Sister Bertrille's gift of flight more realistically than other fantasy comedies of the era. Usually on fantasy series of the 1960s, there were frantic and elaborate attempts to hide and keep secret the special powers, a constant dilemma on ''

''. In most cases, ''The Flying Nun'' dealt with its premise more logically. Quite often, Sister Bertrille and the nuns freely admitted her ability to fly, asking for discretion in hopes that it would not draw attention to the needs and efforts of the convent. Secrecy was only necessary (and occasionally humorously so) for any characters who would not understand, or might make the situation exploitative, widely public, subject to ridicule, or otherwise disruptive. One especially memorable episode (without a laugh track) featured just two actors, Sally Field and actor/director

After the cancellation of ABC's ''

, who had already begun filming the pilot. Field recalled hanging from a crane and being humiliated by a parade of episodic television directors, one of whom actually grabbed her shoulders and moved her into position as if she were a prop. She credits co-star Madeleine Sherwood for encouraging her to enroll in acting classes. Field has commented that she has great affection for her young ''Gidget'' persona and was proud of her work on that show, but she has also admitted that she did not have as pleasant an experience working on ''The Flying Nun'', especially due to constant jokes from comedians, unflattering spoofs, and negative press that ridiculed the premise, which she took to mean herself. The title was used as a punchline without considering the series or its leads. In the Season One DVD interview, Field states that it was Harry Ackerman's decision to give the series the instantly mockable but easily marketable title, "The Flying Nun" rather than give it the book's title, "The Fifteenth Pelican." which would have been better. In essence the title invited ridicule without seeing the program itself. The entertainment industry did little to help Field's morale either, to the point of having her "fly in" to an Emmy Awards broadcast. Nevertheless, Field also expressed tremendous affection and admiration for her ''Flying Nun'' co-stars, including Marge Redmond ("She was so down to earth") and Alejandro Rey, whom she said was not only kind and considerate to her but taught her by example to speak up for herself, indicating that ''The Flying Nun'' ultimately was a tough but crucial training ground for the career that was to unfold before her. Prior to the production of ''The Flying Nun,'' producers were concerned with how the series would be received by Catholics. In an effort to prevent religious criticism, the National Catholic Office for Radio and Television (NCORT) served as a series adviser, with on-screen credit. The NCORT, like its motion-picture counterpart, the National Catholic Office for Motion Pictures, was ultimately absorbed into the United States Catholic Conference, and both were later merged into the Office for Film and Broadcasting of the

. Beginning in the show's third (and final) season, changes were made to revert the series to the warmer tone of the first season. Throughout the entire run, most stories concerned helping others in need, community service, literacy, education and the diversity of people and their faiths. This series was one of the few American '60s sitcoms set in a low-income ethnic community. By the third season, the series had found its way, and the flying premise was so unnecessary that quite often the scripts would have to contrive reasons for at least one "flight" per episode. Had Ackerman not insisted on the gimmick title of "The Flying Nun," instead of "The Fifteenth Pelican," "San Tanco," or simply "Sister Bertrille," the overall content of the series might have been better perceived and recognized in its day. During its third season, at the beginning of the filming schedule, Field was noticeably expecting her first child. As had been done many times in the past in movies and television, the producers used props and scenery to block specific views of Field and using long shots of her stunt double for the flying sequences. Following the deaths of Shelley Morrison in 2019 and Marge Redmond in 2020, Sally Field is the only surviving cast member of the series.
