- This anti-porn short film shows a flood tide of filth engulfing the country in the form of newsstand obscenity.
- George Putnam narrates standing in front of a map of the U.S., using large title cards to establish each topic. He argues that moral decay is spreading in this country: pornography, smut peddlers, salacious magazines and paperback books, fetishists, corrupters of children, nudists, and homosexuals. The motive, profit - it's a $2 billion per year industry. He shows us a courtroom where a judge instructs a jury to uphold community standards: Putnam argues that the Constitution and U.S. law are on the side of decency. At the film's end, he answers the question "What can an individual do?" with six suggestions, including promoting good reading to children.—<jhailey@hotmail.com>
- Reporter George Putnam provides a monologue on what he sees as the scourge of obscene materials found on common newsstands, which threaten to pervert an entire generation, the younger generation, who cannot process the materials rationally. This perversion leads to maladjustments in attitudes toward sex. The problem is more rampant now because of technology - high speed presses and a more sophisticated distribution system than in the past - but also because regardless of who buys the materials, most of it ends up in the hands of minors. Some of these materials are what most would consider standard pornography: girlie magazines, with photographs of nude and semi-nude women in suggestive, sexual poses. But these materials also include nudist magazines, physique magazines, men's adventure magazines, and erotica literature most specifically in the form of dime store novels. These publications promote what he considers deviant sexual behaviors, including homosexuality, bestiality, sadomasochism, bondage, rape and sodomy, as well as illicit drug use. The perpetrators of these publications print and distribute these materials solely for one reason: big money.—Huggo
