After a failed attempt to finally marry the girl of his dreams, a desolate Buster has nowhere to turn to but the vastness of the ocean aboard his small boat, the "Cupid". However, a chance encounter with the "Love Nest", a large whaling ship, will introduce him to the hard life of a sailor, as its ruthless and authoritative captain teaches discipline at any given opportunity. But, can a greenhorn deckhand like Buster survive the hardships of the open sea?
