The play is divided into three distinct segments of Andrew Jacksons life. It is roughly 90 minutes long and has no intermission. The first "act" features members of the cast portraying Jackson's life as a young child. The scene is very short and serves to explain that his family died of cholera. It them moves into Jackson having been captured by the British during the Revolutionary War in which Jackson fought in as a soldier at the age of fourteen. There is humorous banter between the British and Jackson.
