MOTHER, JUGS & SPEED

“They don't call them that for nothing!”

To beat out competing ambulance services, an ace driver, an office secretary/paramedic and a suspended cop resort to some outrageous behavior to help people in distress. They're a crew whose condition is even more critical than their clients!
