The story of Rabbit Hash, for that is what this film is really about, unfolds through the narrative of the residents of the area. This town near Cincinnati sits on the banks of the Ohio River, which rolls lazily through the film from time to time, ever a reminder of why people would have settled here in the first place. The name of the town came after a particularly aggressive flood drove bunny after bunny out of their burrows, up the hill, and into the waiting fry pans of hungry settlers. The residents today have all the temerity of their forbearers, even developing hinge systems to hold the buildings to their foundations in the inevitable event of flood. It is the attitude of the locals that makes this film as appealing as it is.

The historic Piatt family established a ferry in Rabbit Hash in the early 1800s going across the Ohio River to Indiana. Some of the stories of their run-ins with criminals along the river are colorful and legendary.

[One] unusual election was held in this unincorporated community of Rabbit Hash. This unconventional election was different in that each vote cast cost the voter $1 and you could vote as many times as you paid your dollar! The money cast with the vote was to help preserve this small community. When the polls closed at 6 pm, the Boone County officials called for the results. It took almost forty-five minutes to get them and find out who would be the new mayor in Rabbit Hash. Now, not only was this a paid election, but the candidates were ... unique.
