A stubble-faced Popeye and bearded Bluto are Navy sailors arriving at the dock and wanting to take Olive Oyl out for a date. Their fisticuffs on her doorstep are cut short when she declares that both should get a shave and a haircut if they are to go out with her. They dash off to Wimpy's Barber Shop, but it is closed, with a sign saying "OUT TO LUNCH" hanging on the door. Bluto suggests they spruce each other up and they enter anyway. Popeye does a thorough job shaving off his friend's rough beard and bringing down the last of his rebel hairs, but Bluto is more devious.
