HIDEOUT IN THE SUN

Brothers Duke and Steve Martin hold up a bank. Their escape plans go awry, however, and they kidnap Dorothy and force her to hide them at her members-only nudist camp. Steve and Dorothy spend the afternoon mingling with the camp's patrons and Steve grows increasingly fond of both Dorothy and of nudism. In order to protect her, Steve convinces Duke to flee the camp with him. After an argument, Duke knocks Steve unconscious and escapes with their ill-gotten gains into the Miami Serpentarium, a roadside attraction. Alerted by a clerk, a policeman arrives to arrest Duke, who is bitten by a king cobra and dies. Meanwhile, Steve returns to the nudist camp, proclaims his love for Dorothy, and awaits his arrest. Dorothy promises to wait for his release.

Duke is bitten and killed by a king cobra at the Miami Serpentarium while fleeing with the stolen money. Steve returns to the nudist camp, declares his love for Dorothy, and is arrested, with Dorothy promising to wait for him.

The film closes with poetic justice for Duke, whose criminal path ends in a fatal encounter with nature itself. Steve's surrender and Dorothy's promise hint at the possibility of redemption and acceptance, even as the consequences of their choices catch up with them. The nudist camp, once a hiding place, becomes a symbol for new beginnings and frank honesty—though not without cost.
