Smokin' Tailpipes
Billy Joe and Bobby Sue steal a car and head out for a crime spree filled with theft and burglary. When the local sheriff gets the news, he plans a trap. But the sheriff's plans are foiled when Billy Joe escapes from a deputy, turning up at a local whorehouse (creating quite a ruckus!). Meanwhile, another deputy reports to the sheriff's house, only to find Bobby Sue has been left mid-coitus by the sheriff. Of course, that lawman deflowers Bobby Sue while Billy Joe sexes-it-up with two whores. All this goes on while the sheriff is left duped -- alone, and holding the bag. Once again, Billy Joe is on the loose. No man's car, or marriage, is safe!
