As well as being a record of the role of the patrol administration, Along the Sepik offers insights into some tribal communities' cultures through depictions such as their spirit houses and traditional 'sing sing' ceremonies. Downes investigates a murder, and the culprit is caught and tried under the Australian flag by a magistrate in a jungle courthouse on the edge of the Sepik River. We see the rugged conditions under which these officers and their men operated to bring western law and order to this remote area and some of the impact on the local communities.
