Bluto abducts Miss Oyl and ties her to a railroad track, using the track itself as "ropes". Popeye jumps up on stage, wraps himself in a long fake beard that he pulls from the "bearded lady"'s face, and joins in alongside Betty, watching her moves and imitating them. Betty is topless, her modesty protected only by a lei. They take the object of their desire to a carnival, where they watch Betty Boop (also voiced by Bonnie Poe) who is performing a hula dance. On land, with his nemesis Bluto, the two sailors vie for the affections of Olive Oyl (voiced by Bonnie Poe). The camera zooms in on the illustration of Popeye, which then comes to life, as Popeye sings about his amazing prowess in his signature song "I'm Popeye the Sailor Man". The front page of one of the newspapers appears, with a headline declaring that Popeye has become a movie star. The short begins with stock film footage of newspapers rolling off a printing press. While billed as a Betty Boop cartoon, it actually features Popeye the Sailor in his first animated appearance. Some of the information is Boop-Oop-a-Dooping full of SPOILERS.
