The cartoon revolves around the eponymous "Salad Fingers," a thin, green, mentally troubled man who inhabits a desolate world. Salad Fingers provides most of the dialogue as he interacts with his surroundings, talking to inanimate objects or to himself. The first seven episodes of Salad Fingers were shown back-to-back in Australia at the 2007 Sydney Underground Film Festival at the Factory Theatre during the "Re-Animation" session.
