Mother, Jugs & Speed is a 1976 black comedy film directed by Peter Yates. It stars Bill Cosby , Raquel Welch , Harvey Keitel , and Larry Hagman as employees of an independent ambulance service trying to survive in Los Angeles. The F+B Ambulance Company is locked in an intense battle with the all-Black Unity Ambulance Company to win a city contract for providing ambulance service to a territory within Los Angeles. Their star driver is "Mother" Tucker , a talented antihero who drinks alcohol on duty, harasses nuns, and behaves brazenly towards practically everybody he meets, including his... partner Leroy . Indeed, the entire company is a band of misfits, including the hyper-sexual John Murdoch , his partner Walker , putative medical student Bliss , and brash Texan "Rodeo" Moxey . Handling calls at the switchboard is Jennifer , whom the drivers nickname "Jugs" for her ample bosom. Harry "Doughnut" Fishbine runs the company, using occasionally underhanded means to maintain an income stream.
