Popeye and Olive prepare to ship out with their client but Bluto chains their boat to the dock and kidnaps the client. Popeye frees his boat and races after Bluto. The next trick Bluto tries is a smoke screen. Popeye avoids the smoke by rigging his sail to fly over Bluto's boat. Bluto shoots a swordfish like an arrow to shoot him down. In all this confusion, the client rows over to Popeye's boat.
