The Stone Of Chastity by Margery Sharp
Professor Pounce arrives in the village of Gillenham with his nephew Nicholas and his assistant Carmen to seek the Stone of Chastity, a stepping stone in the local stream reputed to trip up impure women. His cold-blooded tests and documentation prompt alarm, provoking the Vicar's wife to enlist the Boy Scouts and stern Mrs. Pye to rouse the women. Nicholas must try to assuage the villagers' outrage while coping with his own amorous impulses.
