A film by the Citizens for Decent Literature about "infection" of "so-called" nudist mags in a community and "abnormal perversions". "Printed Poison" explores the societal impact of obscenity and pornography in a small town, focusing on the character Johnny Morrison, who is deeply affected by the toxic materials sold by local vendors. The narrative follows a group of concerned citizens and law enforcement as they attempt to hold the owner of a bookstore accountable for selling explicit materials that they argue contribute to moral decay. Through discussions about legal challenges and community standards, the film highlights the struggle between free speech and the need to protect public morality. Ultimately, the story emphasizes personal responsibility in combating the spread of harmful content.
