George decides to convert to Latvian Orthodoxy after his girlfriend Sasha tells him that her parents will not allow her to date a man who is not a member of their religion. George visits the church and talks to the head priest about converting. When Kramer arrives to pick George up, a novice, Sister Roberta, becomes smitten with him. The priests are worried over Sister Roberta's infatuation and tell Kramer that he has "the kavorka," a Latvian word for "the lure of the animal," making him irresistible to women. Not wanting to be the cause of Sister Roberta leaving the order, he is instructed to buy various foul-smelling foods and wear them, which stinks up the apartment building.
