In common with many cartoons based around the character of Popeye the Sailor, the plot involves Popeye and his bearded burly rival Bluto both competing for the attentions of the woman Olive Oyl. Bluto soon gains the advantage but Popeye wins out in the end. Unusually for a Popeye cartoon, at no point does the hero gain superhuman strength by eating a can of spinach. The film is now in the public domain in the United States.
