After the film's release, nuns begin to be raped round the world, and Enderby is blamed for it. Settled into a dingy, rented lair near the university on the Upper West Side, Enderby is soon a man much bemused and beleaguered by moralists and behaviorists.

...faced with the unique disadvantage of the fear and consequences of being "found out" publicly. Because of the oppression of society and particularly of this university, we cannot easily go out and demonstrate for our rights as we might like to.
