A nudist colony has moved in next door, and now every ne'er-do-well in the county prowls the professor's farm to spy on them, thanks to Henry Horn's latest invention.

Dwight V. Swain's 1942 story spins broad comic SF from a pair of inventors and a very indiscreet gadget. Light, farcical golden-age pulp. Read it for a genial tale of scientific mischief, X-ray spectacles, and the trouble a bright idea brings to a quiet country home.
