As the scene opens, Popeye pulls in front of Olive's house in his jalopy, exclaiming, "Ooh, boy, me an' Olive's gonna have a good time at the beach today!" The scene cuts to Bluto strutting up the street in the same direction, remarking, "Mmmm, mmmm... What a day for the beach with Olive!" The two suitors confront one another on Olive's doorstep, and a fistfight ensues. Olive breaks them up, and extracts a promise from both to stop fighting (Popeye solemnly swears to it, while Bluto slyly crosses his fingers behind his back).
