An English immigrant is caught up in a series of comic incidents in Australia due to the actions of a trio of local tomboys.
[7] Two of the film's incidents were described this way: "One day last week a new arrival, dressed in a conventional Norfolk jacket and a cap with the regulation check pattern, stepped out of a tramcar, and, quite ignorant of the fact that Sydney possessed a careful Lord Mayor, absent-mindedly dropped his ticket upon the road.
He was pounced upon by one of the City Council's uniformed officials, and there ensued a strenuous and mirth-provoking passage-at-arms between the two.
Later on the same 'Pommy' was seen out at La Perouse, surrounded by an excited horde of fearful cannibals, all bent upon testing imported stock.
"[1] There had been comic shorts made in Australia prior to this movie, such as Percy Gets a Job (1912) but this was the first feature-length comedy.
