News in Brief: California, Lady Godiva - 1951. Mrs. Jerry Coburn creates quite a stir when she rides as 'Lady Godiva' during a horse show. But obedient husbands turn their backs as she arrives, and police act fast to prevent peeking. Blond woman sits reading book to man. The same woman, wearing very long blond hair (wig, most likely) and not much else, rides a white horse with a sign around its neck, "Taxes too high." Audience of ranch-type folk in cowboy hats, flannel, etc., stand up and turn their backs to the camera. The lady rides around, sidesaddle-style (but without a saddle). Older man peeks between slats in a fence, but a cowboy type with a sheriff's badge catches and gently shakes the peeping tom. A group of gentleman cowpokes wrap the lady in a blanket for modesty. Nudity?
