Plot summary
Sid Boggle and Bernie Lugg run a plumbing business together, and their girlfriends Joan Fussey and Anthea Meeks keep turning down their advances. At the cinema, Sid sees a picture about a nudist camp named Paradise. He proposes a holiday there for the four of them, convinced the setting will relax the women's strict moral standards. Bernie, though doubtful, agrees, and both men keep the real plan quiet. The campsite called Paradise that they reach belongs to Josh Fiddler, a farmer who collects their membership fees. It is a damp field with a basic toilet and washing block, not the resort from the film. Fiddler will not refund them, and the women approve of the place enough to stay.
