Wimpy is performing as an organ grinder when Bluto demands that he leave. Popeye, who was taking delight in the music, insists that he stay. The two come to blows as Bluto tries to force Wimpy to move on while Popeye steps in to defend him.
Bluto (a painter), and Popeye (a sculptor) are sharing an art studio when Olive Oyl arrives requesting a likeness of herself. The two compete to see who can provide the more satisfactory product, interfering in each other’s work while doing so.
Popeye and Bluto follow Olive Oyl to a hospital, where she works as a nurse. Desiring her attention, they fake being ill. When that ploy falls apart, they then go out in search of danger, hoping to get injured so Olive will have to tend to them.
After arriving on field for their baseball game, Popeye drops his can of spinach near Bluto. Bluto seizes the opportunity to eat the spinach himself and replaces it with grass before giving it back to an oblivious Popeye, thus gaining the upper hand.
Bluto vandalizes billboards touting “Popito and Olivita’s” dance show at Wimpy’s Café. Later, while loitering outside the café, Bluto is rejected by Olivita when he asks for a date. Angry, he enters the café intent on disrupting the show.
Popeye is starting his lunch break at the factory when he spots Olive Oyl out with Swee’Pea. She accepts his offer to join him, but their meal is cut short when Swee’Pea sneaks off into the factory and faces grave injury from the active machinery.
Popeye is distraught on learning that Olive Oyl has shut down her diner at the airfield and left him to be with an aviator. When he sees that she is being abused up in the air by the man she left him for, he rushes up in a plane himself to rescue her.
Olive Oyl, unsuccessful at getting Swee’Pea to stop crying, calls for Popeye to come help her. Bluto overhears her plea and butts in. The two men go to extremes in trying to amuse Swee’Pea with various tricks, going so far as to beat on each other.
When Swee’Pea refuses to eat his spinach dinner, Popeye recalls how he used to hate spinach too. He then relives his childhood memories of the day his football team was losing a game until he caved in to Olive Oyl’s pleas to eat his spinach.
Popeye feels humiliated when Olive Oyl makes him take her “sissy dog” for a walk, striving to avoid being seen with it. When they cross paths, Bluto sics his own "tough" dog on the other, then attacks Popeye to keep him from interfering.
While recovering from their trip to the Arabian Desert to bring Ali Baba and his band of thieves to justice, Olive Oyl and Wimpy are kidnapped as the thieves raid the town. Popeye, who was left behind in the raid, follows the thieves to stage a rescue.
