This production is set on the deck of a boat in Sydney Harbour, with most of the male characters dressed in naval uniforms. The narrative includes a courtroom scene, in which a prisoner is being tried by a magistrate. Elton Black is also said to have incorporated an impersonation of Scottish comedian Harry Lauder into his role. The storyline had a strong patriotic sensibility, particularly in songs such as 'Our Boys' and 'Australia will lend a Hand.'
With regard to the storyline, a review in the Theatre Magazine records that 'the performers come on - and disappear - in such a way as to suggest the development of a story. But it is ... only the slenderest attempt that is made in the way of connecting things up' (September 1915, p.45).
