Described in advertising as a 'bucolic absurdity', the plot sees Spike Murphy (Paul Stanhope) 'get amongst the Ziffs - bow-wow.' The advertisement also suggested to patrons that they 'come and help pick the hayseeds from his whiskers' (Brisbane Courier 3 May 1919, p.2).

One of the songs incorporated into the narrative was 'Ziff', sung by Mark Erickson.
