Popeye�s training for his boxing match with Bluto by jumping rope with a massive chain. Bluto, who�s lazy about everything except sabotage, decides he needs to stop Popeye. He fills Popeye�s heavy bag with iron junk, but Popeye punches it over the fence onto Bluto. Next, he pulls on the springs attached to the wall with a motorcycle, but Popeye pulls so hard he throws Bluto and the cycle through the building and into a well. Popeye is walking � or actually, prancing � behind Olive on the way to the match, so Bluto tries a bit more sabotage: first an oil slick, which slows Popeye down briefly, then some quick-dry cement in a puddle. This gives Popeye cement overshoes, and when he gets to the arena, he�s exhausted. Olive stands him up, but Bluto treats him like a punching bag. He�s got Popeye on the floor (under the ring), so Olive finally breaks out the spinach. Popeye knocks Bluto through the roof, right into the hospital. The photographers ask for a picture, and Popeye�s biceps form the words �THE END.�
