Private Notes
After discovering that Pappy has taken a job performing tricks on top of a flag pole, Popeye fears for his safety and insists he return home with him. Pappy is determined to stay and thwarts Popeye's attempts to force the matter.
When Popeye checks on Pappy, he finds the older man in bed with a headache and a fever. Believing he needs rest and quiet, Popeye goes to great lengths to silence any noises that risk disturbing Pappy’s sleep.
Popeye calls on Olive Oyl and finds her frantically searching for a sweepstakes ticket to claim first prize in a contest. After they locate it, the ticket blows out the window, leading Popeye to risk life and limb as he tries to retrieve it for Olive.
Popeye is trying to take a nap but is briefly disturbed by a group of flies. After shooing them out the window, one other fly who was left behind goes out of its way to pester Popeye, supercharging its shenanigans with spinach.
After stumbling across the slumbering Rip Van Winkle as he is being evicted from his home, Popeye brings the man home with him so he can have a bed to sleep in. When Rip goes sleepwalking, Popeye chases after him and winds up scuffling with some gnomes.
Popeye is looking to buy a bearskin coat as a birthday present for Olive Oyl, but a furrier tries to scam him. He then decides instead to hunt down a bear to make the coat himself, but guilt overcomes him when he finally corners one.
When Pappy starts to silence Sweet Pea’s crying by slapping him, Popeye intervenes and shows him some lessons in a book on child psychology. When Popeye steps out, Pappy tries to make a “he-man” out of Sweet Pea by testing his nerves.
Popeye rejects Pappy's plea for a job as a pilot at his airport, saying he’s too old to be a pilot, even if he knew how to fly. Stinging from the rejection, Pappy spots an unattended plane and makes off with it, causing havoc around the world.
When Olive Oyl discovers that a flock of crows is eating up the vegetables in her garden, she calls Popeye to get rid of them. The crows prove to be craftier than he anticipated as his various attempts to run them off fall flat.
Having enlisted in the US Navy, Popeye is aboard a training ship when the captain demands he demonstrate what he knows about a ship. More accustomed to “ships with sails”, Popeye fumbles about as he tries to operate the modern ship’s mechanisms.
Needing a human subject to practice on, a hypnotist randomly picks Olive Oyl’s name out of a phone book, hypnotizes her over a phone call, and commands her to come to him. When Popeye catches on to what happened, he chases after her to save her.
