But Olive arrives, looking for a makeover, and that distracts Popeye a while. Bluto sees the "new" Olive and gets jealous, and the feud is on.

It's the middle ages (sort of); Popeye is working in Bluto's Beanery. Bluto is going to the ball where Princess Olive will choose her mate. Popeye's fairy godpappy appears and it's a reverse Cinderella story, with a car created from a can of spinach.

Popeye needs a new mast, so he starts to cut down a tall tree - but a woodpecker living in that tree has other ideas.

Lulu is put on trial by talking musical instruments for neglecting her violin.

When the mice at home, none of which are Herman, become to much for Katnip the cat, he decides he needs a vacation in the Catskill Mountains. Once there, he gets rough treatment from mosquitoes, ants and fish. He returns home to find the mice have baked him a coming-home cake, that, since the candle is a stick of dynamite, explodes in his face, thereby making him feel at home.

Olive is building a house when the boys happen by. They show off a bit to convince her to let them build her house for her. She decides to split the job in half by splitting the blueprints in half and having each build one side of the house. Of course, "cooperation" isn't in their vocabulary. Bluto does an extremely sloppy job on his half, and also takes every opportunity to either sabotage Popeye or trick him into doing more work. Meanwhile, Popeye's making enough of his own mistakes, many of which seem to involve wedging Olive into small bent pipes. Eventually, Popeye has his spinach and finishes the house, but the house collapses as they are celebrating with a kiss.
