Drop 'Em
In Drop 'Em, Chief Inspector Drew Andrews feels the heat from higher-ups to rid the city's alleys from the rampant scourge of sex for sale. He barks orders to rookie Paul Morgan to follow through with this important assignment. Unfortunately, Paul's other commander - the one between his legs - takes over when he accepts a bribe-boink behind the trash cans from street hustler Tim Boyd. Next, Tanner Reeves serves his butt a la carte to his sexually starved jailmate Chance Caldwell. Back at headquarters, Paul Morgan enjoys a reward-like punishment from his superior Drew Andrews for failing at his job. Finally, Brett Williams has interrogational sex with informant Paul Carrigan while uniformed officer Kip Kasey unzips and drops 'em behind a convenient two-way mirror.
