The project

The first story is a variation of the most common theme in scripts of romance comedies. This time, the action takes place in a nudist camp, in a wood near a lake. Not far away from the camp, there is an abandoned mine (or a cave) where a treasure is allegedly hidden. Treasure hunting in the area was popular in the 19th century, but no treasure was ever found and the legend was almost forgotten in the 21st. Leo runs the camping business. He never advertised the place, he is happy with what he earns. Most of his visitors are regulars, especially during weekends, some of them willingly volunteer in maintaining tasks. Among the campers, there is a young PhD, Lucy, who has doubts if her nudist habits become an obstacle to her promising Academic career.

The land owner has just died, and the colony is upset by the identity of his heir. The campers recite rumours about his close relatives, expressing their wish that the camp continues to operate. One day Homer, the new owner, arrives with a custody of lawyers, engineers and his fiance Betty. He orders Leo to abandon the premises within two weeks because he plans to build a mountain lodge in his land and attract a different category of visitors. He offers Leo a contract to supervise the project, because he promised his dying uncle to never leave Leo unemployed. He promises to come back in two weeks to have the contract signed.

The campers are upset and they try to figure out a solution. One expresses anger, another sadness, a third one an optimistic plan to fight Homer in a court, another guy already writes an obituary for the camp. In the end the campers agree to follow an action plan which is indeed the dumbest idea to implement. They are going to lure Homer to arrive a couple of days earlier by sending a message that the treasure has been discovered. They intend to trap him in the abandoned mine for a couple of days until the contract deadline expires (*). Then they can find a new plan. (* I am not sure if this is good, but there must be a legal obligation that gains time after an expired deadline)

Homer bites the bait. He arrives accompanied only by his fiance. He is driven into the mine, and he is trapped inside. The plan did not work well and Lucy is also trapped. When the campers realize that Lucy is also missing, they call the police to rescue them. Inside the mine, a romance between Homer and Lucy is being born. The rescued Homer threatens to sue everybody in the camp, but his heart has changed in the last 48 hours. He exchanges messages with Lucy and in the end he turns to a different person. He announces that his plan for a mountain lodge remains the same, but dedicated to clothing optional vacations. Leo will be the manager and Lucy will soon become his wife.

So, what about Betty? Betty is supposed to be an ex stripper, a woman with low morals, her presence is intended to be comical. When Homer is in the mine, she interacts with the nude people around her. There are two options: She either doesnt change until the end of the book, she is angry and frustrated that Homer doesnt want her and performs various ridiculous acts to seduce him, or the woman inside her revolts, she reviews her whole life and decides that the nudists have shown such a respect to her that no man ever did. She becomes a nudist herself and falls in love with one of the camps regulars.
