Sandy's daughter Ellie is an artist but he's never liked her work. The trouble is that she never sells anything - until Sandy buys a canvas anonymously. He instantly regrets doing such a thing - what if she finds out? He must go to any length to ensure that she doesn't, even admitting to a strange predilection involving nuns...
