[edit] Plot
The story concerns a group of guys who have made a deal to each invest in a fund, which would be paid to the last remaining bachelor of the group. Michael Delaney attempts to get the other remaining bachelor, Kyle Brenner, married so he can claim the fund to pay off a gambling debt. Unfortunately, the girl Kyle is trying to marry is the woman Michael is in love with, Officer Natalie Parker. Michael then gets himself into all sorts of misadventures, from getting captured by a young woman with a bizarre BDSM fetish (who seems like a quiet librarian at first glance) to trying to retrieve a surgically-removed testicle.
