Complete story — includes the ending
An old hermit dies, leaving his land jointly to Maggie and Joel, who have radically different ideas about what to do with it. She wants to create a nature preserve, while he has been approached by rich natives who want to buy it. Joel tells Maggie about the offer, but conceals the fact that the natives wish to use it as a tax shelter. Ed tags along as a film crew works on a documentary on the deceased, Dr. Soapy Sanderson.
