Harold Walker

사운드 오브 뮤직 등으로 유명한 뮤지컬의 거장 리차드 로저스(Richard Rodgers)와 오스카 해머슈타인 2세(Oscar Hammerstein II)의 브로드웨이 뮤지컬을 영화화한 작품. 2차 대전의 여파는 멀리 남태평양의 외딴 섬에까지 암운을 드리운다. 그러나 이곳의 원주민과 주둔군인 미해군들은 남국의 정치 속에서 밝게 살아간다. 한편, 미 해군 간호사인 넬리(밋지 게이너 분)는 프랑스인으로 농장을 경영하는 40대 홀아비 에밀(로자노 브라지 분)과 알게 되고, 부드럽고 온화한 성격의 그와 사랑에 빠진다. 그러나 넬리는 에밀이 폴리네시아인 아내와 사별했음을 알고 갈등에 휩싸인다. 자기 아닌 다른 여인과의 옛사랑에 대한 시기심에 괴로워하던 그녀는 부대장에게 전역을 요청한다. 그런 그녀의 갈등은 더욱 깊어만 가는데...

A Mardi Gras celebration, looking pretty much like any carnival. Bluto is a strongman, claiming to be King of the Mardi Gras, and drawing a large crowd. Popeye, nearby, claims only, "I yam what I yam," and has no crowd, but still draws Bluto's wrath. He manages to spoil a balance trick, then tops it with Wimpy in a chair. Olive then volunteers to be levitated; Bluto pulls her over and saws her in half. Olive escapes to a roller coaster with the boys in pursuit.

Popeye and Olive are attending a football game; Bluto's team takes the field, and Olive is swept off her feet, becoming a cheerleader for him. Popeye signs up and becomes quarterback of the opposing team, which is skinny and pathetic looking, compared to Bluto's team of huge bruisers. Things go badly, of course, until Popeye eats his spinach and becomes a whole football team himself, winning both the game and Olive.

The boys arrive at Olive's house at the same time, but at different doors. They both come in, and whenever Olive isn't looking, they start fighting. She catches them, and tells them one will have to leave. Bluto tells Popey that whoever does the best trick can stay. As a result, they find ever more creative ways to abuse each other, much to Olive's merriment. Eventually, though, they start destroying her house, and Olive throws them both out, for a little while, anyhow.

To the classic tune of "Barnacle Bill the Sailor", Olive explains that she can't marry Popeye because she's in love with Barnacle Bill (an unusually large Bluto), who then comes by and proceeds to pound Popeye (until he eats his spinach, of course).
