From new york city, this is nightline with bill weir. Good to be with you tonight. Not since the invention of the frozen margarita had a Business Model taken advantage of spring break in such an eye opening way. Girls gone wild but co eds on video and sold them on late night infomercials. The idea created a multimillion dollar franchise but they filed for chapterer 11 bankruptcy thanks to the expensive legal battles of the man behind the debauchery. Reporter joe francis is what you might call a playboy and rich. He made millions because young women in bikinis flashed his cameras. He started the girls gone wild franchise which just filed for bankruptcy in las vegas because steve wynn one of the 500 richest men on the planet wants his money. And joe francis owes steve wynn the casino owner around 30 million. To call wynn a casino owner is an understatement. He is mr. Vegas and a legend. Its a wild west trail stranger than fiction. A five year legal clash of the titans complete with false accusations of a murder threat. They stated he was going to hit me in the back of the head with a shovel and bury me in the desert. Its hard to believe that anybody sitting in that room could come to any other conclusion than joe francis is a liar and a desperate out of control vicious guy. Reporter joe francis who lives a belair lifestyle is no stranger to legal tussles. A number of women have sued. Last year a woman from st. Louis won 5. 77 million. She claimed a contractor working for a Company Controlled by girls gone wild lifted her tank top. Francis has pled guilty to filing false returns and bribery. But troubles with steve wynn started in 2007. Francis had a net worth of over 100 million off the back of girls gone wild. Their m. O. Is to have girls who are drinking flash their bodies at clubs in parties and on the beach. We shoot girls going wild. Reporter in 2007 francis racked up a 2 million gambling debt and didnt pay up. A Court Ordered francis to pay up. He still hasnt. Then came the war of words and francis claim in 2010 that their friend quincy jones told him that steve wynn emailed jones saying that wynn wanted to have francis killed. I was afraid for my life. He made it very clear he wanted to kill me. He accused me of murdering people and being part of a crime family. Reporter steve wynn sued. Quincy jones took the stand describing the win francis dynamic. A lot of drama. A lot of drama. Reporter then the crucial question. Did you ever hear steve wynn threaten to kill joe francis . Absolutely not. Reporter and jones testifies he never saw any such an email. For joe francis game over . Wynn is eventually awarded 19 million in damages. Francis is appealing. Joe francis is a survivor. He spent 339 days in jail on 70 or so charges on a girls gone wild mission to panama city, florida. They didnt want him in town. Here comes a company that is going to put on a show and basically turn our community into a theater for some soft important movie. They are very good at getting young people who have been drinking or perhaps have not, to do things that are, at best, risque but more appropriately just illegal and nasty. Reporter francis won the right to shoot in the city and francis was thrown in jail. The judge threw out all but eight of the charges and francis pleaded no contest at charges that the cameraman had performed women performing sex acts in the bathroom. The plea was a legal convenience at the time. Im 100 innocent of anything that i just pled to. Reporter francis said they lied about their age and signed release forms and francis claims he wasnt there. He told nightline he doesnt have a problem obeying the law. I have a problem with being an easy target and being a likable person that lawyers think i will get him in front of a jury and people will be jealous of him. Reporter francis has not declared personal bankruptcy and girls gone wild is still in existence and steve wynns representatives say the corporate bankruptcy twist makes no difference to them. They are chasing their money against francis personally. Our wild west saga goes on. Im nick watt for nightline in los angeles.

[ male announcer ] this is karen and jeremiah. They dont know it yet, but theyre gonna fall in love, get married, have a couple of kids, [ children laughing ] move to the country, and live a long, happy life together where they almost never fight about money. [ dog barks ] because right after they get married, theyll find some retirement people who are paid on salary, not commission. Theyll get straightforward guidance and be able to focus on other things, like each other, which isnt rocket science. Its just common sense. From td ameritrade. For a guy who throws himself off the steepest mountains in the planet, jeremy jones is amazingly sane though there was a time that many in snowboarding questioned even that. You can see why he wanted to turn mountain into skate parks he swore off half pipes and helicopters and became the greatest big Mountain Rider alive. I met up with him in the sierra nevadas. There is nothing quite like a snow covered mountain to sort people into very distinct skill sets. The demigods who wing into the back country and bring their conquest back on film and the mortal masses who watch those films and spend their vacations on groomed greens and blues dreaming of what it must be like in the vertical 1 like this guy. Usually right about here islip into a goofy fantasy where this is the back country of alaska and i become jeremy jones. Yeah. Midnight here in the arctic circle. Couldnt be happier. Reporter if they carve a Mount Rushmore of snowboarding jeremy jones is a lock. Shaun white claims medals but jones has given up on fuel burning flying machines. He wants to seek out the most extreme runs in the world using only the power of his legs and lungs. Snowboarder magazine named him the big Mountain Rider of the year for the tenth time. These are your bindings. Imagine the thrill for a snowboarding mortal when jones offers an invitation to ride in his back country backyard. If i ever meet this jones guy i want to talk about the ego that led him to put his name this big. Jones is one of the most egofree cats youll ever meet. Despite his exploits in these films. He has the titles further and deeper, films that could not have been made before jones took a power saw to his board. I take brand new boards and cut them in half which you never get used to running a saw down a fresh board. A split board that is a snowboard that converts into Cross Country skis. It allows you to find runs in places that helicopters cannot reach. No lift lines. No one telling you where you can go. If they are willing to put in the effort. That is a doozy. I felt i was not evolving as a person. I wanted to inspire people and show them that free riding can be done without a travel budget and helicopters. Reporter that came with a trade off. Films that used to take days now take years. This is no mans land. Reporter what is the longest you had to hunker down and wait out a storm . Ten days. Reporter he had to develop mountaineering skills and avalanche dynamics. When it comes to caution he is a paradox, a guy who will walk away from a mountain because the snow doesnt feel right but will brave runs like this. I get the punch bowls and powder. But when you drop into those chimneys like going down an elevator shafts surrounded by running chain saws. What is the appeal of that . Gravity so much at your fingertips. Youre almost floating and free falling but in total control. Reporter jeremy has three other reasons to stay in control. Three more jumps and its jammy time. They come from his kids and wife. I worry when he goes to squaw. When he gets on a chair lift . Yeah. Do you . Yeah. I mean stuff can happen anywhere. We lost more friends in at squaw valley than we have in the back country here. Reporter how has fatherhood changed your Risk Management or has it . Kids they just put things in perspective and put an added weight on the importance of coming home every day. There is no question i turn back more than i used to. There is a lot of ways to die out there and the mountains are one of them. I have respect for them but i need to keep living my life. Top of the world. You do this every day . Yes. You take it for granted or get sick of going to work . I dont take it for granted when i get away from the mountains for a period of time i really kind of get in a funk and i you know its like when i get back out for the first time in ten days im a totally different person. Altitude therapy. Its my medicine. Reporter its time for the reward. Jeremy drops in and i follow clumsily. And just when we hit a groove its over. But the beauty is there is always another ridge to climb and line to ride as long as the snow keeps falling. On a warming planet that is not guaranteed. Jones formed a foundation called protect our winters to sound the alarm on Climate Change and he has lobbied congress on behalf of the snow sport industry. It seems like society is going in a different direction where they are more excited about the new app on their phone than going for a walk in the woods. I dont think thats a good thing. I want people to get in the mountains and love the mountains and hopefully protect them. Jeremy jones is scouting the final film in his trilogy. Thanks for the ride, jeremy. Why some are paying good money for apartments barely bigger than a parking space. [ male announcer ] want to make a great car interior . Stop looking at car interiors. Get inspired by other stuff. Yep. Yep. Ok. Sure. Why not . Woah. Touchscreens. Put that in your dash. Now, luxury stuff. Make your seats like that. That thing has wifi, why doesnt your car . You cant do that. Ignore that guy.

So if youre one of them people who gets heartburn and then treats day after day. Block the acid with prilosec otc and dont get heartburn in the first place [ male announcer ] one pill each morning. 24 hours. Zero heartburn. How much space do you need to live comfortably . 2,000 square feet is the norm. But how about 200 square feet . A new kind of architecture is coming into vogue. And we take a teeny look inside the microapartments in tokyo. Reporter they are sliced, diced and squeezed into pint sized patches of land. Space so tight that bathrooms are tucked away. This bedroom requires so much kneeling and ducking it feels like a scene out of being john malcovich. In tokyo couples are cramming to 250 square foot homes. This apartment with the width between the walls are just inches. The houses are close to begin with and on the right and left they are touching the houses next door. Reporter this architect say the japanese have used Creative Design to transform shoe boxes into works of art. This underfloor storage idea is traditional. Reporter the storage is under floors. Large windows create the illusion of space. There you see the roof and the wall. You are almost kissing it. And this 250 square foot unit the counters fold out and the bathtub is part of the living room. The house is big. But if it is really tiny and livable that is special. A trend started and people began to expect good design. Reporter and architects have taken the challenge to extremes crafting sculptures on slivers of land. This has a percussion room below a tree top kitchen. And it looks more like a spaceship than a humble abode. This concrete structure feels like a maze. She says life is easier in small bases because everything is within reach. Her tiny slice of heaven is one sixth the size of the average home in the u. S. Americans are taking note. Last year brown was tasked to advice new york microapartments incorporating lessons from japan. If you make smaller homes they wont be more dangerous or uncomfortable and be equally livable or even better. Reporter that may be b a matter of no small debate. Spacious if you just got out of prison. Time for the closing argument. The 911 call igniting a backlash. A california retirement home staffer refusing to giving cpr a to an 87yearold resident. We need to get cpr started. Are we going to let this lady die . We cant wait. We cant wait right now. The patient later passed away at the hospital. The retirement home defended the action saying that our practice is to wait with the individual needing attention until personnel arrives. That is the protocol we followed. We want you to know what you think, are nonmedical personnel obligated to try to save a life . Weigh in on the Nightline Facebook page or tweet us nightline. We thank you for watching abc news.
