Plot
Freddie Horne loves his job working for a trendy women's fashion magazine, but his pretty blonde fiancée is getting jealous. To smooth things over, Freddie takes a job with the Puritan Magazine Group, an organisation which promotes moral reform and "family values". However, the caddish chief executive Miles Fanthorpe is not all he seems, and his country house is actually full of scantily-clad young women, and he is secretly publishing a girlie magazine.

Critical reception
Monthly Film Bulletin said "The permissive society is obviously making it more difficult to produce a prurient film. To convince us that there's something naughty about photographing girls in bikinis, this one resorts to the improbable device of creating a mild pornographer whose primary concern is to safeguard his reputation among East Grinstead churchgoers. And although none of its cast remains fully dressed throughout, its hero is just old-fashioned enough to marry the one girl who loses her clothes by accident rather than by design. Not that the film is provocative – merely embarrassing. And its crude scripting means that its elaborate car chase is entirely unmotivated."[4]
