The cartoon begins with an aerial view of the county fair. The view pans Earthward, and a banner is seen that reads, "Sensational-Daring Stratosphere Balloon Jump," and a barker's voice is heard announcing the jumping daredevil, "Bluto the Bravo", who quickly draws in a crowd. Olive Oyl, who is attending the fair with Popeye, soon spots the strongman and goes to watch him while Popeye admires the champion bull.
