A cuckold (a man whose wife engages in extra-marital activities) appears to be a life-long shameful creature... a failure in his own mind who suffers from public humiliation, loss of pride and even honor... yet, deep within, lurks a bit of the old reptile, the latent sexual charge. The tales are told in confessional mode by Sam Clay Gunn while encapsulated in the Sex Offender's ward of a state-run mental facility. The escapades covered include statutory rape, an innocent first visit to a house of ill-repute, the delirious death of a man in combat, revelations in hell/afterlife in the devil's casino, a strange encounter with a thousand-year-old Japanese ghost and her daughter, a SCUBA staged marriage in an underwater cave, a fly-eyed view from the edge of a Martini-laced glass and, finally, a series of escapades that took place at the fireman's picnic held on the Fourth of July, 1976.
