The plot is simple: Biff (Freberg) loves Julie (Frances Osborne), but their tender love duets are interrupted by Eustace K. Butter-Nut (Byron Kane), the only man ever to leave Omaha.
The musical numbers include an overture, four songs and a last-act finale, which is impressive for a show only ten minutes long.
