MISS DON'T TOUCH ME

By Hubert & Kerascoet

At the start of the 20th century, the "Butcher of the Garden Cafes" is prowling for loose women. When young, cute Florence loses a friend to the Butcher, she tracks the killer herself. She ends up a servant in a luxury house of call girls, where she becomes good at
certain lascivious practices -- while still remaining a virgin! But she never loses sight of her goal: find the Butcher.
