Barney’s girl friend Nancy has left to get married and is replaced by Pearl, who is suspicious of the whole set-up and hopes to trap Barney into marriage. There has been a fight on the canefields and Roo, the tough, heroic, bushman, has arrived with his ego battered and without money. The 17th year of the canecutters’ arrangement is different. 'Ray Lawler’s play confronts that legend with the harsh new reality of modern urban Australia. Its principal appeal – and that of two later plays with which it forms The Doll Trilogy – is the freshness and emotional warmth, even sentimentality, with which it deals with simple virtues of innocence and youthful energy that lie at the heart of the Australian bush legend. The play tells the story in traditional well-made, realistic form, with effective curtains and an obligatory scene. The title refers to kewpie dolls, tawdry fairground souvenirs, that they brings as gifts and come, in some readings of the play, to represent adolescent dreams in which the characters seem to be permanently trapped.

The “sweet chariot” represented the Underground Railroad, swinging low-to the South-to carry them to the North. The melody was a signal that the time to escape had arrived. Among Tubman’s favorites was reportedly “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” As abolitionist Harriet Tubman guided Black people to freedom along the Underground Railroad, she sang certain spirituals to signal it was time for escape. Some were also used as a form of coded communication to plan escape from slavery. Throughout the antebellum South, spirituals became a vital form of folksong among enslaved people. The group was rehearsing for the upcoming Chicagoland Music Festival where they would sing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" at Soldier Field.
