Before we do anything else here are five book covers of women shooting men. And here’s a book cover of a woman whipping a man. And here’s one of a woman about to stick a gun in a man’s mouth. This is just paperback art, which is not to be taken too seriously, but we felt we needed to de-Weinstein things a bit anyway. So what’s going on with this book? A sleazy casting agent named Stirling Steele catches wind of a beautiful singer and goes to Nashville to promise her anything she wants as long as she ends up naked on her back. Instead he gets arrested for trying to corrupt her morals and finds himself in jail with a friend of his, also a shady agent who’d heard about the singer and shown up in Nashville for the same reason. The jail is run by a hot matron, and there’s also a beautiful— Wait. Let’s stop. This is silly. The plot doesn’t matter at all. Orgy Scouts is so stupid and badly written it isn’t even worth summarizing. Why do we torture ourselves with these books, you’re wondering? Because we buy them in lots, and others in the group promise to be better. We’ll see. This one is copyright 1967 with art by Tomas Cannizarro.
