Popeye and Olive are going on an outing on Popeye's sailboat. Bluto, who's ever-trying to force his affections on Olive, sinks Popeye's boat and takes Olive aboard his own sailboat. Popeye, in the meantime, has been swallowed by a whale. When Popeye hears Olive's cry for help, he eats his spinach and takes care of business (as usual).
