I'll have this ready for your signature

tomorrow morning, Mr. Bennett.

Ask Mr. Brooks to come in, will you please, Miss Bell?

Yes, sir.

Mr. Bennett would like to see you, Mr. Brooks.

- Thanks. - Right away.

You wanted to see me, Mr. Bennett?

Yes, I've been going over the figures

on the Peabody deal and they don't seem to come out right.

You have $1,000

where I'm sure it's supposed to read $10,000.

Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'll check it out.

You'll have to be more careful, Tom.

Yes, sir.

Remember, an ounce of prevention is worth $9,000.

But it's really no laughing matter.

I don't understand how that happened, Mr. Bennett.

Of course, I'll take care of it right away.

Miss Bell, you seem to have made an error

on these Peabody papers.

You see here where you wrote $1,000?

It's supposed to be $10,000.

And that's what I dictated.

Why can't you be more careful?

You've been very careless lately.

I type exactly what I hear on the dictating machine.

Perhaps if you spoke a little more clearly,

this wouldn't have happened.

I speak very clearly, young lady.

Why can't you just admit you made an error?

I don't care very much for your attitude about this.

I never understand what you're saying.

You never understand what I'm saying?

Well, that's too bad. - What is going on

here, Brooks?

You're shouting at Miss Bell.

Come into my office a minute.

Well, sir, it seems...

It seems to me it's obvious you don't care

much for Miss Bell.

I can't understand it.

She's a very efficient young lady and quite intelligent.

You'll just have to make an effort to get along with her.

I don't wanna lose her.

Best secretary I've ever had.

Oh, I like her well enough, Mr. Bennett.

Yes, yes. Go on.

But sometimes you can't avoid a little friction

when you work so closely with someone.

You're right. Remember, we're working together.

One happy family. Uh, stay here, Brooks.

I expect Jenkins.

Thank you, Miss Bell.

Good morning. - Good morning, Mr. Jenkins.

Sit down. - How are you, Brooks?

Hello, Mr. Jenkins.

Well, sir, have you come to any decision

about that attractive land in the north section?

I believe we can make a deal, Mr. Bennett.

I'm sure we can.

That's wonderful. Mr. Jenkins.

Mr. Brooks here has convinced me

of the value of this deal.

That's fine, Mr. Jenkins.

When can we finalize the deal?

I'm sorry. I won't be available for about two weeks.

I'm going out of town. I've got a million things to do.

Oh, I see.

But I'll call you when I get back

and we'll work everything out.

I have to run now. - Bye, Mr. Jenkins.

Goodbye Miss Bell.

- Bye, Mr. Jenkins. - Thank you.

Yes. Mr. Bennett?

Uh, will you take a letter please. Miss Bell?

Oh, it's five o'clock and I'm getting ready to go home.

Oh, I see.

I'm going away for the weekend.

Well, it can wait until Monday.

- Thanks, Mr. Bennett. - I like to keep

my employees happy.

Well, have a nice weekend, Miss Bell.

Thank you again. All right.

Hi, honey. I'm home.

What? What's the matter?

Plenty.

You're awfully sweet at home. Aren't you?

Well, what I'd like to know is why don't you try being

a little sweeter at the office?

Now just a minute, Anne.

Why you're a real tyrant.

And another thing...

We decided when we first got married

that we wouldn't bring any office problems home.

I've kept my part of the bargain.

I'm sorry, Tom. You're right.

I'll change my clothes and we can leave for camp.

I've been looking forward to this all week.

The weather's perfect.

I wouldn't give up these weekends for anything.

I'm with you.

Are you having trouble with the lock, Tom?

I guess it's a little bit rusty.

Come on, slow poke!

You go ahead. I'll see you at the pool.

Okay, honey. Hurry.

I just have to put my hair up.

What took you so long? You didn't even put your hair up.

I'll put it up before I go into the water.

Why are you smiling?

Oh, I just can't help thinking that if Bennett saw us now,

he'd really blow his top.

You know, Bennett.

Not only because he doesn't approve of married couples

working in the same office,

but mostly because he would feel that we'd put

something over on him.

You're right.

Well, I think I'll put my hair up and go in for a swim now.

The water's great.

Uh. That was really refreshing.

You really ought to go in.

I feel wonderful.

Oh. Oh.

Come on, lazy bones. We have to go home.

Oh, this is so relaxing.

I hate to leave.

I've got a heavy day at the office tomorrow.

I don't wanna get back too late.

We really should go.

I'll see you at the cabin in five minutes.

All right. But no more than five minutes.

Yes, Mr. Bennett?

Certainly.

Mr. Brooks, Mr. Bennett would like to see you right away.

Right.

You wanted to see me, Mr. Bennett.

Brooks, I'm afraid I'm going to have to let you go.

I don't understand.

After you left Friday night, I found this card

on the floor near your desk.

Thomas Brooks, member of the American Nudist Association.

Your signature is on it.

You do belong to this organization?

Well, yes I do.

Why suppose anyone found out about this,

I've just got to let you go.

Of course, I'll give you two weeks notice.

It's too bad you feel this way.

I've really enjoyed working for you,

and I, I think I've been doing a pretty good job.

That's true. I had great hopes for you, Brooks,

but I can't have a member of a nudist organization

working for me.

Well, I guess there's nothing more to say.

That's right.

Except I don't want the two weeks notice.

You don't?

I'll get my things together and leave

at the end of the day.

I'm sorry. Brooks.

Going out to lunch, Miss Bell.

Read this and then destroy it.

"Meet me in the park near our bench in 10 minutes." Hmm.

I'm going out to lunch now. Mr. Bennett.

Tom, why are you sitting there like that?

What's wrong?

Tell me. Maybe I can help.

Oh, it's nothing.

What is it?

I've been fired.

Oh!

I don't understand. Why?

I accidentally dropped my membership card

for the nudist organization and it seems

Ben had found it after I left Friday.

He called me in this morning and really blew his stack.

He said he didn't want a nudist working for him.

And then he fired me.

When you said you were fired, I,

I thought it was because of the error that was made

in the Peabody account.

Well, it wasn't because of the Peabody account.

Huh. I almost wish it was.

At least it's a legitimate reason,

but to be fired because I'm a nudist.

What does Bennett know about nudism?

I just don't know what we're gonna do.

I thought I was getting along so well.

You know, it wasn't easy putting over that Jenkins deal.

I really worked hard and I know Bennett was very pleased.

As a matter of fact, he practically told me

he was going to give me a raise at the end of the month.

I know how you feel.

I'd like to go back to the office right now

and tell him a few things.

I'd like to tell him that we're married

and that I'm a nudist too.

No, Anne, you can't do that.

You know Bennett would fire you in a minute

if he thought we were married,

Especially if he knew you were a nudist too.

Remember, we've got bills to pay,

and who knows when I'll get another job.

Good jobs aren't easy to find these days.

Look, darling, why don't you go out to the camp today?

And I'll be out early on Friday. Hmm?

No, I better start looking for a job right away.

Tom, you need the rest. Please go.

All right. If you think I should.

I certainly miss Brooks around here.

He really was an asset.

Why don't you hire him again?

I'm sure he has another job by now,

and most likely a very good one.

But maybe if you asked him, he'd come back to work here.

I'm afraid that's impossible.

I just can't tell you why I had to let him go.

But it was for something really scandalous.

No, I won't ask him back.

It won't help you moping like this. Come on, Tom.

Let's forget our troubles and have a nice weekend.

Everything will be all right. Give yourself a chance.

I can't help being worried, Anne.

We have a million debts. You know that.

Good jobs are not easy to get.

Why, with your ambition and know-how,

you'll get another job, but you've gotta

give yourself a chance. Tom.

Don't be a defeatist. You haven't even started looking.

Anne? Can you come here a minute?

I'll be right there.

Now you must stop worrying. Huh?

I'll be back in a minute, dear.

Hello there.

What's a matter, Tom.

Oh, nothing.

Something's wrong.

Tell me about it. Maybe I can help.

What is it, Tom?

I don't wanna burden you with my troubles.

You don't look too happy for a newlywed.

I've lost my job and who knows when I'll get another.

It's tough to look cheerful when you're not sure

how you're going to pay the rent.

Say, that really is rough. What happened?

Just last weekend, you said that everything

at the office was coming along fine,

that you were closing some big deals.

Why you sounded as though you were sitting

on top of the world.

What went wrong?

I thought I was sitting on top of the world too,

but there are many people in this world

who just don't understand about nudism,

and Charles Bennett, my ex-boss, is one of them.

He found out I was a nudist and fired me.

Now what gets me is he doesn't know the first thing

about nudism, yet he's ready to condemn it.

You know, in spite of everything, I,

I really feel sorry for him.

I know what you mean, but what can you do?

People like Bennett are biased in their opinions

and it isn't easy to change their thinking.

Say, I think I have a solution to your problem.

I'm going away for a couple of months.

Why don't you take my place as camp director?

You really mean it? Thanks.

That sounds like a good idea.

I certainly appreciate your interest.

Then it's a deal.

- Thanks again. - Oh, don't thank me.

You're doing me the favor.

Hi, darling.

Guess what happened?

Bill Hardy asked me to act as camp director

while he's away for a couple of weeks.

Well, that's wonderful, dear.

Of course I accepted.

I'm so glad, Tom.

This is really what you need.

A few weeks of sunshine and fresh air

will make everything look brighter.

Of course, I'll miss you very much,

but you can be certain I'll be out here

as early as possible every weekend.

Come on, Tom. Let's go to lunch.

I'm starved.

Good morning, Miss Bell. Any messages?

Good morning, Mr. Bennett.

Mr. Jenkins phoned.

He wanted you to know he was back in town and said

he would contact you in a few days.

As a matter of fact, he asked for Mr. Brooks.

He did, huh? What did you tell him?

Only that Mr. Brooks was away.

I think he got the impression

he was out of town on business.

He couldn't possibly think that you'd fired him.

You know, Ms. Bell.

This is really a bad time for you

to be taking your vacation.

There's so much to be done.

And the Jenkins deal will require a great deal of time,

especially with Brooks away.

Oh, it's too bad.

I had great hopes for that boy.

Miss Bell, do you have to take your vacation at this time?

Yes, I do.

Well, I just hope the young lady who's replacing you

knows what it's all about.

Oh, she's very capable.

I know you'll be pleased with her work.

Well.

Hello. May I speak to Tom Brooks?

Hello?

- Hello, darling. - Anne, dear, how are you?

Listen. I've got wonderful news for you.

- Speak louder. - I can't.

I don't want Mr. Bennett to hear me.

I'm starting my vacation on Friday.

I told Mr. Bennett my closest friend was going away then

and I wanted to go with her.

Why, you're my closest friend, aren't you?

When will you be here?

Probably very late on Friday.

I have a million things to do.

I'm surprised Bennett is letting you go.

Well, he's been trying to be sweet to me since you left.

Huh. He's probably afraid I leave too.

Then he'll really be in a jam.

I've gotten Sally to replace me while I'm away.

All right, Anne. Try not to get here too late.

I'll see you on Friday. Goodbye.

Goodbye, dear.

Hello? - Still at home?

When are you leaving? I thought you'd be here by now.

What's taking you so long? - I should be leaving

for camp in a little while.

I have some things to take care of and then I have to pack,

but it shouldn't take too long.

You know, Friday, it's a busy day,

both at the office and at home.

All right, but hurry.

Try to get here as soon as possible.

I will, Tom.

See you later. Bye.

All right.

All right. I'll see you later.

Tom.

Hi, honey.

Mr. Jenkins.

Brooks, what are you doing here?

I'm acting camp director, replacing Bill Hardy,

who is away on a business trip.

- I don't understand. - Well, I'm mot with

Bennett Real Estate anymore.

I've been fired. - Fired?

But Why?

Bennett discovered I was a nudist and let me go.

Oh, you mean he actually fired you

for being a nudist and for no other reason?

- That's right, sir. - I really am surprised.

Why Bennett told me you were a terrific salesman.

He said you were an asset to his firm

and he just couldn't get along without you.

Tom!

Have another surprise for you.

What is it?

This is my wife.

Mr. Jenkins.

Miss Bell. What are you doing here?

It's not Miss Bell. It's Mrs. Brooks.

We've been married six months now.

I'm spending my vacation here with Tom.

Well, I'll be. Why have you kept it a secret?

Mr. Bennett doesn't approve of married couples

working in the same office.

He doesn't, hey?

I meant to ask you, Mr. Jenkins.

How is it we've never seen you here before?

As you know, I moved to Miami from Kansas City

only a few months ago.

- I see. - I've been a nudist

for many years now.

I really believe it has made a better

and more tolerant person out of me.

Certainly a healthier and happier one.

I know what you mean.

I've never felt as healthy and as alive

as I do since I've joined this lodge,

I wish I could make other people understand

how beneficial both mentally and physically

it is to be a nudist.

Now, listen, kids.

I've got an idea that I think will help you,

and also teach that old proverb spotter a thing or two.

It's time he changed his old fashioned principle.

Really, sir? Just what do you mean?

Well, it's time someone taught Bennett a lesson

and I'd like to be the one to do it.

Do you think you can get me

an extra bungalow for next weekend?

I'll tell you about my idea later on.

All right, Mr. Jenkins.

I'll take care of that extra bungalow right now.

- Goodbye. - Bye, Mr. Jenkins.

- Yes? - Mr. Jenkins is on the phone.

Put him on.

Hello, Jenkins. Good to hear from you.

Hello, Bennett. How are you?

I wanted to talk to you about the deal

we've been working on.

Nothing I'd like better.

When should we get together?

How about spending a weekend at my club?

That makes a lot of sense.

I believe we still have some things to straighten out.

Well, I think we've both given this matter

a lot of thought and discussion.

And I don't see- - Well, I know.

But I'd really like to get out in the fresh air and sunshine

where we can really finalize this deal properly.

I think I get your meaning.

Good.

Sort of like you can't see the forest

for the trees.

Well, no, not exactly.

What do you mean?

It's just that I'd like to make my final decision

at a country place I go to for weekend.

Yes. I've noticed how fresh and healthy you look.

That's right.

What is this place? A country club?

Well, not exactly, but something like it.

That sounds great.

I can use some sun and fresh air.

Sure you can. It'll be good for you.

I don't get much of a chance to relax

since I let Brooks go.

You mean that Brooks isn't with you anymore?

I was going to suggest that you bring him with you.

What happened? He seems to be a bright young man.

Yes, he is.

Then you should have kept him.

No, I discovered something about him that forced me

to terminate his employment here.

Believe me. My reasons are valid.

Too bad. Well, I'll pick you up Friday night at 8:30

Fine.

I'll be looking forward to seeing you on Friday night then.

- Right, goodbye. - Goodbye.

Ah, I'm tired.

I'm going to bed.

I wonder what happened to Mr. Jenkins?

Maybe something went wrong.

Tom, stop worrying.

Mr. Jenkins will be here.

Don't worry. Things will work out.

You'll see.

It's not so late.

Have a little patience.

Patience? Hmm.

I can't figure it out.

Stop worrying. He'll be here.

Well kids, everything is working according to plan.

I got Bennett in bungalow two.

He's getting ready for bed.

Doesn't have any idea where he is.

I'd like to see his face in the morning when he discovers

he's in a nudist camp.

You and Anne better stay out of sight

for the next few days.

It's going to be difficult to stay out of sight.

Don't worry.

Thanks, Mr. Jenkins.

I know you're trying to help us and we do appreciate it.

That's all right.

I'm going to bed and I'll see you two in the morning.

Goodnight. - Goodnight, Mr. Jenkins.

And thanks again. - Goodnight, Mr. Jenkins.

Well, I'm ready for a swim. Let's...

Good heavens! What kind of place is this?

These people have no clothes on.

Why, you're right. These people have no clothes on.

Why, these people are scandalous.

Scandalous?

I'm one of these people and I don't

consider myself scandalous.

No, no, I don't mean you. Of course not.

You're a fine, upstanding man.

I hold you on the highest esteem.

As I said before, I'm one of these people.

Well, I, I must admit,

I'm surprised you go in for this sort of thing.

Go in for this sort of thing?

I believe in nudism very strongly.

It's important to me.

How do you expect me to walk around here?

I've never been in a situation like this before.

I don't even know how to act.

Just be yourself. Like everyone else here.

That's one of the most important qualities of these people.

They're real and genuine in every respect.

I don't know. I'm confused.

Well, I suppose I should have told you

that this was a nudist camp before I brought you,

but I wanted to be sure you'd come.

Well, you got me here, all right, but I'm leaving

just as soon as I can get a car or a bus

or something to take me back to the city.

Now you're not being fair.

Fair? You're the one who hasn't been fair.

Why, you got me here under false pretenses.

And now you're asking that I become a party

to this sort of thing.

Now take it easy, Bennett. I'm not asking anything.

I'd just like to make a suggestion.

- Like what? - Well, let me show you

what sort of people we are.

What are you driving at?

Well first, let me show you around the place

and explain a few things as we go.

This way.

Well, all right, but remember,

I wanna leave just as soon as I get a ride back to the city.

All right, Bennett. If that's the way you want it.

See all this greenery and these flowers?

It's the pet project of Ben Jones.

A very well-known botanist.

Oh, I've heard of Ben Jones.

Oh, he did all of our landscaping.

He's one of our members.

You mean, Ben Jones is a nudist?

Yes. And he has been for many years.

Well.

Look at that.

It's beautiful.

Yeah. And look there.

What colors.

Yes. Ben spends all of his free time here.

As a matter of fact, he'll probably be here sometime today.

That's our archery range.

- They seem to be having fun. - Of course they are.

We better take shelter.

It looks to me as though it's going to rain.

Mary, Bess! Come on in out of the rain!

Good morning, Charles.

Oh, good morning.

Johnny Moore is driving into the city tonight,

and he'll take you back to town.

Well, it seems a bit silly to go back now

when the weekend is almost over.

You know what, Jenkins?

I think I'll stay until tomorrow night and leave with you.

Anything you say.

What about our deal?

Why don't we go back to the bungalow

and work out the final figure?

Well, frankly, I'd rather not just now, if you don't mind.

The sun feels so good.

I, I hate the thought of going indoors.

You sound as though you're not anxious

to consummate the deal. - Of course I am,

but there's no rush.

We'll have plenty of time to finalize our deal.

In the meantime, I wanna relax and enjoy the sun.

Mm. All right, Bennett.

There's the boss.

Oh, you're right. Let's go.

All right then. I'll see you at the basketball court.

Interesting game, but I haven't played in years.

We're getting too old for that.

We'll have to leave it to the younger generation.

I'd like you to meet some of our members.

This is Barbara.

Hi.

- This is Cindy. - Hello.

And that is Claire.

She's an artist. A darn good one.

I have some matters to take care of.

Why don't you sit in that chair

and make yourself comfortable?

I'll join you very soon.

Mm. The sun feels great.

I'm beginning to think I've been wrong about these people.

I must admit, they are fine group.

Everyone is so kind and friendly.

There seems to be no pretense, only honesty and sincerity.

Mm. You know, Jenkins.

I haven't felt as good as this in years.

Brooks. You.

Hello, Mr. Bennett. '

what are you doing here?

Miss Bell. You too?

Well not exactly, Mr. Bennett.

What do you mean?

There isn't any Miss Bell here.

Well, you see Mr. Bennett,

Miss Bell is really Mrs. Brooks.

We're married.

Married?

I was under the impression you two

didn't even like each other.

I don't understand.

Well, sir, to be perfectly honest,

it was just an act we put on for your benefit.

We had to, you see.

Well, we knew you didn't approve of office romances

and well, we just, we just didn't wanna jeopardize our jobs.

I suppose I was a tyrant,

but I see things differently now.

Tom, will you come back to work for me?

We need you.

I'd like to very much so.

Jenkins, I'd like to become a member of this organization.

Well, that's fine, Bennett.

Well, I always say,

if you can't fight 'em, join 'em,

and I'm in no mood to fight anyone.
