A lengthy interview with Mrs Eliza Webb Young portrays her as a 28 year old polygamy claimant recounting her courtship with Brigham Young in 1867 at Little Cottonwood. The dialogue covers health decline post polygamy, her proposed divorce, and Brighams life advice on selecting a husband.

She describes his attempts to control her life, limited support, and a policy of rent and personal demands, culminating in her decision to seek alimony and expose his conduct. The account also references broader social statistics on literacy and education in the South.

The eight foot by four foot frame features dials for day week month minutes and hours, with a gallery of carved figures and apostles that parade at 12:00 and 12:05 as the cock and a mule of Judas appear. The clock runs thirty two hours without winding and Ketuar has refused a $10,000 offer from New York buyers. He plans to display it in the United States before returning to Germany.
