Lisa is all grown up now, or so she thinks. She has her own business and a real boyfriend, but she hasn't outgrown the need to stick her pert little nose where it doesn't belong, nor have the men in her life -- Michael, Greg, and Professor Travis -- seen fit to stop spanking her bare bottom when she misbehaves.
