Private Notes
Intent on stealing Popeye's girlfriend, Olivia Oyla, Bluto beats Popeye off ship for shore leave and reaches her first. After Popeye arrives to claim his date, Bluto follows them to a café and offers to dance with the señorita when Popeye won’t.
Popeye finds the modern weapons of the battleship to be more complex than he can handle and fumbles his turn at target practice. He is then sent to shovel coal in the boiler room, but when an enemy submarine is spotted, he responds to the battle call.
Believing that he lacks discipline, the battleship captain is putting Popeye through a set of drills when an enemy plane attacks the ship. Popeye is sent after the plane in a patrol boat and finds its carrier, from which more planes are launching.
While Popeye is getting spinach for his nephews' lunch, the boys try to sneak out but he manages to herd them back to the table. When they express how they dislike spinach, Popeye is dismayed and sets to convince them of its benefits for the body.
Popeye and Bluto have sworn off women, considering them to be nothing but trouble, when Olive Oyl shows up at their ship for a tour. Forgetting their vows, the two men fight over who gets to show her around, with Olive caught in the middle.
In order to sneak off the army base, Bluto ambushes Popeye, swaps his army uniform for Popeye’s navy uniform, then leaves base uncontested. Popeye then finds himself doing tank drills in Bluto’s place, unfamiliar with how they operate.
Unimpressed with Popeye's gift of a toy sailboat, Sweet Pea is instead enamoured with the battleship that Popeye is stationed on. When Olive Oyl leaves him in Popeye’s care to go shopping, Sweet Pea sneaks out of his carriage to explore the battleship.
While out on patrol, Popeye encounters a pair of Japanese fishermen. Expecting a battle, Popeye starts to confront the two, but stops when they offer a peace gesture. He is warmed by the offer and accepts it, but finds they are just toying with him.
While their battleship is moored off the tropical Isle of Woo Woo, Popeye and Bluto spot Princess Alona in the surf nearby. Popeye and Bluto follow the dream girl to shore and pursue her through the jungle, each hoping to gain her affections.
Popeye and Bluto are competing for a contract to build a fleet of ships, with the winner being who can deliver the first ship. The two men set to constructing their ships, with Bluto interfering with Popeye’s efforts in the hopes of gaining the edge.
Popeye is performing maintenance duties on an aircraft carrier when a camouflaged enemy plane attacks the ship. Popeye goes after him, eventually finding himself aboard a Japanese repair ship, taking on them and a Japanese battleship nearby.
Exhausted and in need of rest, Popeye interrupts his nephews’ music practice so they can get ready for sleep. The boys are still restless after Popeye puts them to bed, so they begin an impromptu practice session with makeshift instruments.
