The Township of Persephone is threatened when a truck which may contain toxic waste crashes into the swamp on the farm of the township reeve, Eldon Currie. The evacuation of the township is imminent, the Minister of the Environment is summoned and a desperate cover up ensues. Laughs abound when country sense clashes with city sensibilities.
The plays setting is in late June in and immediately around the kitchen of the Currie farmhouse in Persephone Township.
