The cartoon begins with Olive Oyl packing a basket for a picnic. There is a knock at her door and Popeye and Bluto arrive and greet Olive, who greets them back. Popeye has brought Olive some candy and Bluto has brought some cigars (or so it appears). When Popeye is offered one by Bluto, the box opens to reveal a spring-loaded boxing glove, which punches Popeye under the chin. It is revealed that Popeye has fallen victim to an April Fool's joke since it is April 1.
