In this case of mistaken identity, jittery bride-to-be Vanessa Sinclair (Rachael Leigh Cook) confesses her sins of desire not to a priest but to the local lothario (Kenny Doughty) -- the carpenter who happens to be repairing the confessional. In her ardor, Vanessa beseeches the "priest" to stay by her side and keep her honest; in his lust, he agrees, determined to seduce her. Soon, however, lust turns to love, and a wedding must be stopped.
