- There are many good reasons

for the nudist philosophy.

We believe that sunshine and fresh air

must definitely result in both physical and mental benefit.

Sunshine and fresh air are natural phenomenon,

and ours is a way of life which pursues these forces

in the most natural and unencumbered manner possible.

We strive for a healthy mind and a healthy body.

We feel that nudism eliminates tension,

brings forth complete relaxation,

which enables man to find his true values.

This is our creed and our goal.

A true way of life.

Mm, 3:30.

I told Frank to meet me at the club at four.

I don't understand it.

I've hunted this area many times before this,

and I've never gotten lost.

If I can just find that brook,

I'll know exactly where I am.

Maybe it's beyond those trees.

Well, what's this?

I can't believe my eyes.

A nudist camp.

This is outrageous,

and I'm gonna do something about it.

- Good morning, how was your hunting trip?

- Fine.

Fine, but never mind that now,

I'll tell you about it later.

- Shall I get those contracts

you were asking about yesterday?

- No, not now,

I have something much more interesting to discuss with you.

It's really something.

' Oh?

- My little hunting trip has turned up

something very interesting.

Very interesting indeed.

And we're gonna do a series

that will blow the lid right off it.

- For goodness' sakes, Arthur,

what are you talking about?

While I was in the woods,

I took a wrong turn, you see.

I was trying to find my way out,

and I stumble upon something.

You won't guess in a million years what it is.

I won't even try.

- Stacy, not 6o miles from where we are standing now,

there's a nudist camp!

Oh, you think it's funny?

A nudist camp!

Not more than two hours from where we are right now.

Just what have you got in mind?

I want real inside information.

I want a reporter to spend a few weeks in that camp

seeing what goes on,

and I want the articles to come directly from the camp.

Stacy, I want documented proof of everything we print.

This is big, Stacy, really big!

- That sounds like a good idea.

Who do you think will do it?

- You.

_Me?

Oh no, you don't.

You must be out of your mind.

You expect me to join one of those camps?

Become a nudist?

Oh no, I couldn't.

I wouldn't.

As a matter of fact, I won't.

Now, Stacy, calm now.

Just take it easy, will ya?

You said yourself it's a good idea.

Well, it's more than

a good idea, it's a great idea,

and it needs a good reporter, Stacy.

- You've got other good reporters.

Let somebody else do it.

How about Frank?

He's always done a good job on exposes.

- This is not just an expose,

it's a lot bigger than that!

Stacy, it needs you.

You're the best reporter I've got,

male or female.

And one other thing, Stacy,

first and foremost, you're a reporter.

You owe it to your readers as well as to yourself and me.

You've got to report the news for them,

interpret the news for them.

You've got to be a crusader.

- I can't, Arthur.

Please, give it to somebody else.

- I won't give it to someone else.

Come on, Stacy.

Don't turn away a chance like this.

Well,

give me some time to think about it.

- Attagirl, I knew I could count on you.

I said I'd think about it.

I haven't committed myself to anything yet.

- I'm betting on you.

- Has it ever occurred to you

that sometimes I'd like to be thought of as a woman

and not always as a reporter?

- Ms. Owens, will you take a letter

to the Sunny Palms Lodge from Ms. Stacy Taylor.

Gentlemen, I would like to obtain information

concerning my becoming a member of your organization.

I would appreciate it if you would send me literature

and also application forms.

Arthur certainly didn't waste any time

contacting the lodge.

I doubt if he'd be in such a hurry

if he was the one who was going there.

What was it the letter said about a personal interview?

"In line with our new member policy,

we wish at this time to conduct a personal interview

with you at your convenience.

We have found this system to be quite satisfactory

in helping to make our final decisions

regarding admission of an individual for membership.

Kindly call me at Granite 1-3544,

and I will be pleased to set up an interview with you.

Very truly yours."

- Very truly yours, Zelda Suplee.

Wow, this is very interesting.

I wonder what this Zelda Suplee has in mind.

Let's find out.

Why don't you call her right now?

- Don't you think I should prepare myself

with some answers first?

No, you're just gonna set up an interview.

Be careful of what you say.

It'll be unfortunate if she discovered you're a reporter,

wouldn't it?

- It would?

Of course it would.

You don't think she'd admit you for membership

if she knew you were a reporter, do you?

- I hadn't given it much thought.

There was nothing on the application

asking what type work I do,

but I suppose if she knew I were a reporter,

I wouldn't be admitted for membership.

However, I don't think it would be so unfortunate at that.

Oh, come on now, Stacy,

don't start falling apart on me.

We are within inches of success.

Hello?

Ms. Suplee, please.

This is she.

- Oh, hello.

This is Stacy Taylor.

I recently made application for membership

in the Sunny Palms Lodge,

and this morning,

I received a letter from you asking me to call you

to arrange an interview.

I also received a map showing me how to get to the camp.

Will 3:30 tomorrow be convenient for you?

3:30 tomorrow will be fine.

I'll see you tomorrow then.

Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- That's my girl,

we're really gonna put this thing across.

- I forgot the combination!

It's four, five, nine, nine, eight.

- Thanks!

Let's hurry, I can't wait to get into that pool.

Who is it, please?

- I'm Stacy Taylor,

I have an appointment with the camp director.

Yes, we've been expecting you.

There is a combination lock on the gate.

The combination is four, five, nine, nine, eight.

Drive down to the parking lot.

The camp director's office is the first cottage on the hill.

- Come on in.

Stacy, I'm so glad to meet you.

I'm Zelda Suplee.

Won't you sit down?

- Thank you.

- I hope you didn't have trouble finding us.

- No, I'm rather familiar with the area.

But it was so warm driving down here,

I couldn't help wishing I had an air conditioner in the car.

We've solved that problem rather easily

without air conditioners.

I hope you'll excuse my frankness,

but it's obvious that this is all new to you.

You've never been a member of a nudist camp before,

have you?

Well, I,

well, as a matter of fact,

no, I haven't.

I thought not.

There's really no reason to be so nervous.

I have no intention of giving you a third degree

of any kind.

We merely like to ask our prospective members

a few questions so that we can get to know them better.

We're selective about those whom we admit for membership.

That's quite understandable.

Now, are you sure you wanna become a member?

Yes. quite sure.

I've want to for some time.

Why do you wanna become a member?

Well, I love the sun.

It makes me feel healthy and alive.

I always felt it would be fun

to spend my vacations and weekends just relaxing

in the sun. - Mm, it is fun.

I always planned to join such a group as this,

but somehow never did until now.

Also, I want to get to know

and to be friends with the members.

I feel they must have a very healthy philosophy.

- I see.

Well, that seems to tell me what I want to know.

Of course, it is necessary that we do a certain amount

of investigation before we can accept you.

- Of course.

- Thanks for coming.

You'll hear from me in a few days.

- Goodbye, I hope to see you soon.

Let me talk to Arthur Sherwood, please.

Hello, Arthur?

I just received a letter from Zelda Suplee.

I've been accepted as a member of the lodge

and can go out there and stay whenever I like.

Wonderful.

You may as well get started immediately.

Check in or whatever you have to do right away.

- Arthur. I'm not sure that-

- Come on, Stacy, you can't back down now.

The hardest part is over.

- You think the part was making up that application?

I know how you feel, Stacy,

but believe me, you'll do it,

and you'll do a fine job.

I hope so.

Well, I'll have my breakfast and go.

Now, don't forget,

I want day-by-day reports mailed directly from the camp.

- Yes, yes, I know.

I'm depending on you.

- Goodbye.

Well, that's that.

There's no turning back now.

- How long are you planning to stay?

- I have two weeks vacation,

and I'd like very much to spend them here.

- Good!

Well, if you finished your coffee,

I'll show you to your cabin.

Hello?

Yes, just a minute.

Stacy, I've gotta take care of this call.

Your cottage is the next one to this on your left,

do you see it?

Yes, I see it.

It looks very nice.

Why don't you go to your cottage,

unpack, and get comfortable.

I'll call for you in about 10 minutes

and show you around the camp.

Can you manage your bags?

- Yes, I can.

Are you ready, Stacy?

It's a little breezy today.

Yes, it is.

Well, you can still have your swim.

You know, we have a lovely indoor swimming pool.

I'll introduce you to some of our members.

I'm sure you'll enjoy meeting them.

They're all lovely people.

Now let me show you around the camp.

Now, there are some of our members.

The fellow on the left is Frank.

The dark-haired girl is Annette.

And the girl next to her is Marie.

That's our little Phyllis.

Isn't she a doll?

And Tom's the other man.

- Hi.

' Enjoying the sun?

I want you to meet Stacy.

- Hi. - Hi.

Well, I'm gonna show her around the camp,

I'll see you later, bye!

- So long. - Bye.

Bye,

There are some more of our members.

That's Helen,

and Fran next to her.

That's John and his wife, Eleanor.

They're celebrating their fifth anniversary this week.

Those flower baskets are for the annual summer festival

early next month.

Folks, this is Stacy, she's a new member.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello there.

Well, you all look as though

you're having a good time.

- Oh, yes, yes.

It's just, just wonderful here.

I understand it's your anniversary.

- Uh-huh. - Congratulations!

Thank you.

This is a beautiful spot here.

- Why don't you join us? - Yes, why don't you?

- I'm gonna show Stacy around. - I see.

See you.

- All right. - It was nice meeting you all.

Bye.

- Bye bye! - So long.

Come join us anytime.

Here's our recreation area.

We have shuffleboard, volleyball,

and many other activities.

Over there is our outdoor swimming pool,

but I understand everyone will be at the indoor pool.

Why don't you join them?

Sounds like a good idea.

Will I see you later?

- Sure.

Hello.

You must be Stacy, our new member.

I'm Marie.

Zelda asked me to show you around

and introduce you to the rest of the group.

Bill, Jim. - Hi, Marie.

Hi.

- This is Stacy. - Hello.

Hi.

This is Annette.

We've already met.

- Yes, I know.

Zelda introduced us earlier.

Oh, I see.

Well, this is Susan.

- Hello.

Stacy's new.

- Oh, really?

She's spending her vacation here.

- Oh, how very nice.

I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay.

Come on, Stacy.

Let's go for a swim.

- I don't know, Frank.

I think it's a little strong.

You know how I feel about sensationalism.

- This is not sensationalism,

it's exploitation.

- Let's not play with words, Frank.

Exploitation, sensationalism,

what's the difference?

- Chief, it's fine to be a crusader,

but we've gotta sell papers too.

- Well, sell papers,

but not at the cost of our integrity.

Well, in any event,

we can't do anything until we hear from Stacy.

' Hi.

Come on over and join us.

Would you like some coffee?

Stacy, telegram!

' For me?

I wonder who it's from.

- Don't be upset,

I'm sure it's not bad news, my dear.

Do you want me to send a reply?

No, thank you.

- Frank, come in here a minute.

Yeah, what can I do for you?

- We received the first of Stacy's articles,

and they're gonna be just fine.

Listen to this.

"L feel that the public needs to be made aware

of the real purpose of nudism,

and anything this reporter tells you may be taken as gospel

because for almost a week,

I've been staying at a nudist camp as a nudist."

- Wow, that's Stacy all right.

What else does she have to say?

- The rest isn't awfully important,

it's just background.

There's more to come tomorrow though.

I knew we could depend on her.

She's a darn good reporter.

- Oh, yes.

Oh, that's wet!

Ah, oh!

Oh!

- This is the second of Stacy's articles, listen.

- Oh, yes? How is it?

- Just listen.

"L can really understand now

why nudists are called sun enthusiasts.

The effectively infrared

and ultraviolet rays penetrating the skin

is extremely helpful.

This is especially so when not interfered with

by layers of clothing.

And each member of this club proudly sports a deep-

and healthy-glowing suntan."

- Why, it almost sounds as though she's on their side!

- That's the feeling I get.

- Well, if I know Stacy,

she's got something up her sleeve.

She's probably about to swing some journalistic twist,

you'll see.

- I hope you're right.

Anyway, I sure wish she'd hurry up and get to it.

Get it composed and hold it.

Frank, put a stop to those Stacy Taylor articles.

Ms. Owens, get me Stacy Taylor on the phone.

Do you know where she is?

Yes?

I have Stacy Taylor on the line.

- Good, let me speak to her.

Stacy, what is this all about?

What are you trying to do to me?

Yes, I got your last article.

Will you tell me what this is supposed to mean?

"After one week of nudism,

I, Stacy Taylor, girl reporter,

am now Stacy Taylor, girl sold on nudism."

You bet your sweet life I don't understand.

When can I see you?

I'll see you tomorrow morning at 10 in my office then.

Mm-hmm.

Right.

Goodbye.

What's keeping her?

Good morning.

- Well, it's about time.

Well, you did say 1o o'clock, didn't you?

- So, now what's this all about?

- What is this, a third degree?

- No, Stacy, it's not a third degree.

I sent you to do an expose,

and you're doing a selling job.

Well, maybe that's the way it sounds to you,

but I don't think there is much selling necessary.

You don't have to sell honesty, you know?

- Now, what do you mean honesty?

Arthur.

One of the things you have always demanded

of your reporters, myself included,

has been integrity.

I've seen you fire a reporter for dressing up a story

to the point where you felt it lacked integrity and honesty.

You've drummed it into us over and over again.

How many times have I heard you say,

"Report the news, but report it with truth."

That's one of your famous slogans, isn't it?

- That's right, but what's that got to do with this?

Well, that's exactly what I'm doing.

You sent me to do an expose,

but I find nothing to expose.

This lodge is part of a fine group,

and from what I've heard,

all of the other camps like it are too!

I've got nothing to say against it,

but I've got plenty to say for it,

and I intend to say it.

- Not my paper, you won't.

Stacy, I don't know what's happened,

but I can't use a reporter

who loses sight of what she sets out to do.

- Does that mean I'm fired?

- Not if you assure me

that you will do this story the way we discussed it.

- I'm sorry, Arthur,

I can't do that.

I've got to do this story truthfully and accurately

or not at all.

Then you'll not do it at all.

- Then I am fired?

Yes, then you are fired.

- All right.

If you don't believe that the articles are true,

why don't you go to the lodge

and write the articles yourself?

- Ms. Owens,

take a letter to the Sunny Palms Lodge.

Gentlemen, I am interested in becoming a member

of your organization.

Hello there.

- What are you doing here?

- Why, I'm a new member.

You should treat me in a more friendly manner.

Didn't you yourself tell me how friendly everyone here is?

- Well, of all the contemptible-

- Now, take it easy, Stacy,

I believe this was your idea.

Remember?

You suggested that I come out here

and write these articles myself.

- But, I didn't mean-

- Oh, there you are.

I see you two have already met.

Why yes, as a matter of fact,

I feel as though we are old friends.

' Really?

That's nice.

Come along, Arthur,

and I'll introduce you to the rest of the group.

See you later, Stacy.

See you later, Stacy.

- Oh! _

You played well.

_ A ~ Oh! w!

Come on!

More!

Arthur, why did you choose this particular camp

to write the articles from?

- It's sensible,

we already have the background on this camp

from your articles.

That's it.

I feel as though I'm contributing

to the crime you're about to commit.

- Crime? What crime?

I'm only going to tell the truth.

The truth as you see it perhaps,

but you have so many preconceived notions,

I doubt if you'd recognize the truth.

All I ask is that you give us a fair chance.

- I've always tried to be fair,

you know that.

I hope you haven't changed.

Just don't feed the public ready-made opinions.

- Hi.

Nudism, good or bad?

I have set myself the task

of bringing before the...

Having closely associated

with nudists,

I have found that...

What's the matter with me?

I just can't seem to write anything.

I guess I haven't really given myself enough of a chance

to look around.

Maybe tomorrow will go easier.

Hi, Stacy.

How about going for a swim?

- No, thank you.

- She's great, what's her name?

- That's Helen.

She's our champion swimmer.

- Stacy, wait, I wanna talk to you.

Stacy!

Stacy!

- Oh, I need cigarettes.

Nudist Expose.

The true facts about nudism.

- Oh, no!

Why, that...

- Will there be a pickup today?

- Yes, there's a pickup every afternoon at five o'clock.

Is it important?

- Yes, very-

I'd like to speak to you.

- You'd like to speak to me?

You have nothing to say that would interest me.

Stacy, please listen.

We have nothing further to speak about.

Obviously, nothing I've said has made any difference to you.

- Please listen to me for just a minute.

- Listen to you about what?

About honesty?

About integrity?

You don't know about any of these things.

What kind of a man are you, Arthur?

You know what I think?

I think you're a downright hypocrite!

Stacy, you don't understand.

- Why don't you go back where you belong?

Zelda,

I want you to know that I joined this club

under false pretenses.

I'm a reporter,

or should I say I was a reporter until my paper fired me

for refusing to write articles against nudism.

That's what I actually came out here to do.

- I know you're reporter, Stacy.

I knew that the very first day you came out here

for an interview.

- Yet you permitted me to become a member?

I don't understand.

- It doesn't matter what kind of work you do

as long as it's honest.

Besides, I knew you'd get around to telling me

what you really came here for.

But I feel differently now.

I want write for nudism, not against it.

For the first time in my life,

I feel completely alive.

And the people I've met here.

They're kind and considerate.

They're so sincere and sympathetic.

Why, they're my friends!

See this?

I have an expose of my own to make.

That's the man that wrote this article.

- I know, I've read it,

and I think it's a fine article, Arthur.

You've done an excellent job.

It really tells the truth about nudism.

Stacy, I think you should read the article in its entirety

and not just the headline.

"What is the opinion of nudism

as far as the uninformed members

of the public are concerned?

The real truth lies in the philosophy of the nudist,

the belief in the wholesomeness

of the body in its natural form.

I consider myself extremely fortunate

to have the opportunity

to bring these facts before the public

and shall attempt to do just that

in this series of articles beginning today."

- I tried to tell you.

- Arthur, I'm sorry.

- It's all right.

I've acted stupidly.

I could've saved a lot of time if I just listened to you.

There's something else I wanna tell you.

I'm in love with you.

I've been in love with you for a long time,

probably from the first day I saw you.

I guess I didn't realize it.

You do love me, don't you, Stacy?

- As if you didn't know it.
