The cartoon begins with stock film footage of newspapers rolling off a printing press. The front page of one of the newspapers appears, with a headline declaring that Popeye has become a movie star. The camera zooms in on the illustration of Popeye, which then comes to life, as Popeye (voiced by William Billy Costello) sings about his amazing prowess in his signature song Im Popeye the Sailor Man.[1]\r
\r
On land with his nemesis Bluto (voiced by William Pennell), the two sailors vie for the affections of Olive Oyl (voiced by Bonnie Poe). They take the object of their desire to a carnival, where they watch Betty Boop doing the hula. Popeye jumps up on stage, wraps the bearded ladys beard around his waist for a grass skirt, and dances with Betty.\r
\r
Bluto abducts Olive Oyl and ties her to a railroad track, using the track itself as ropes, in order to cause a train wreck to kill Olive. Popeye defeats his enemy, and rescues Olive, punching the approaching steam locomotive in the face, wrecking it in a crushing halt and sparing Olives life, thanks to his ever-reliable can of spinach.\r
