Plot
In 1533 (fourteen years after the first movie) the Spanish have conquered the "New World" and established the colony of New Spain. The colony's first governor, Hernando Cortez, in the interest of spreading Christianity, requests that a number of clergy be sent to convert the 'local heathens.' Back in Spain, Sister Catalina is an orphan who grew up on the streets before being taken in by the local nuns, led by Mother Superior Erauso. Catalina is a constant headache to Erauso, as she is not fond of the devout lifestyle, preferring to spend her days singing, playing instruments, and performing tricks (like juggling and acrobatics) for the locals. Delighted by the idea of being rid of her, Mother Erauso tries to convince Catalina to journey to New Spain with a small group of her fellow sisters who are accompanying the monks requested by Cortez. Intrigued by Erauso's promises of adventure and excitement, Catalina agrees and sets sail for New Spain. On the journey across the Atlantic, Catalina clashes with the leader of her fellow nuns, the pious Maria, and the firebrand head of the missionaries, Father Fernandez, due to her frivolous attitude toward her duties as a nun, and her flirtatious behavior toward a handsome sailor. However, her youthful spirit impresses the kindly Father Vidal, who's approach to his work as a missionary is far less heavy handed than Father Fernandez's.

Upon arriving in New Spain, the monks and nuns set out for Mexico City in a heavily guarded convoy (as attacks by the natives against religious figures are on the rise). As the convoy spends the next several days hiking through the jungle, Catalina continues to draw the ire of her fellow travelers with her adventurous and carefree spirit. Her recklessness particularly annoys the leader of the troops, Captain Gallego. Father Vidal takes it upon himself to keep Catalina out of trouble, and the pair develops a father-daughter-like bond. One night, after making camp, the group is attacked by a group of men dressed like jaguars. In the chaos, Catalina manages to save Sister Maria from one of the attackers through her quick thinking, earning her Maria's grudging respect. Gallego and the other soldiers manage to drive off the rest of the attackers. The next day, the convoy arrives in a small native village where they are greeted by Zolin, the patriarch of the village. Zolin reveals that the local priest who had built a church in the village was kidnapped by the "Jaguars who walk like men", so Father Fernandez decides to have the convoy rest in the village for a few days in order to set up a new convent, despite Captain Gallego's misgivings.

Over the next several days, the priests and nuns clean up the village's neglected church while resuming religious ceremonies like baptism and confession. Catalina quickly grows bored with the routine, and begins sneaking away to explore the jungle around the village. On one of her excursions she saves a young native boy from a snake, who she quickly befriends. The boy shows her his small statue of the Aztec goddess Mictecacihuatl, which Catalina finds beautiful, but promises to keep it a secret since such icons have been forbidden. The next day, the majority of the priests and nuns prepare to move on, but Father Fernandez announces his intentions to stay behind and "purify" the village. He then produces the statue that the little boy had shown Catalina, and accuses the natives of clinging to their "false idols." A horrified Catalina is forced to watch as the statue is destroyed and the young boy is severely whipped for his transgression. After the sickening spectacle, Catalina is further enraged to learn that Gallego intends to leave her behind in the village under Fernandez (having no desire to have her travel with him and his men again). Father Vidal tries to get Gallego to change his mind, but only manages to get himself chosen to remain behind as well. Nonetheless, Catalina, intent on not remaining under the iron hand of Fernandez, steals a set of armor and dons it, impersonating one of the soldiers so she can depart with the rest of the convoy.

Catalina's ruse seems to work as she departs the village. After the company makes camp for the night, however, she is confronted by Gallego, who reveals that he knows of her deception and yanks the helmet from her head and prepares to strike her. Before he can do so, the camp is attacked once again by the men dressed as jaguars. While Gallego and his men struggle to fend off their assailants, Catalina flees into the jungle, but is pursued and captured by one of the mysterious men. After passing out, Catalina awakens locked in a stone room. Her captor arrives shortly after, and Catalina attacks him. In the process of their scuffle, the man's mask falls off revealing him to be Miguel.
