Get Thee to a Nunnery

Only a few months into wedding life and Dympna is feeling taken for granted - her life is a constant round of cooking, ironing and skivying for Billy and Uncle Andy. The final straw comes when she discovers Uncle Andy making "alterations" to her beloved wedding dress (which he has sold to the pregnant fiance of Big Mervyn's nephew, Wee Richard!) She goes back to Ma and Da and drowns her sorrows. When she wakes the following morning and is sick, thanks to a horrible hangover, Billy gets the wrong end of the stick and thinks she's pregnant! Dympna, enjoying the attention, decides to play along with the charade, but when Billy's police medical shows that he is sterile there's trouble brewing...
