Paxton Smalls believes he is deformed. To escape taunts, shame and humiliation from his classmates, he joins the Merchant Marines as OS - Ordinary Seaman. On the open sea the men yearn for his minuscule endowment and accommodating, plum-shaped bottom. He spends most of his time "in the barrel" giving pleasure to others, surprised by just how much he receives in return. His abilities and reputation lead him to the captain, who claims the young lad as a prisoner to gratify his prodigious needs. Hopeless, Paxton resigns himself to the constant pounding of carnal slavery until a handsome Able Seaman, with enormous requirements of his own, plumbs the depths of his body and soul to excavate the love that lies buried there.
