It is a rural comedy in the vein of Dad and Dave based on a play adaptation of a series of popular novels.
Dad and his son Jabex make friends with a group of bathing beauties at Bondi.
The play was seen as attempt to cash in on the success of the theatre version of On Our Selection, and enjoyed almost as much popularity at the box office during its original run.
[7] Director Sterry previously enjoyed success with The Life Story of John Lee, or The Man They Could Not Hang (1921).
The premiere was held at Sydney Town Hall and resulted in a near riot as people sought tickets.
