Popeye is babysitting those bratty nephews of his, and trying to make them eat spinach. They'd rather had ice cream cones. Popeye tries to explain to them they have to eat their spinach if they want to grow up as strong as their great, great, great, great Uncle Hercules.
Popeye then tells the kids the story of Hercules, which begins with the famous man - the strongest and popular in town - jumping off his chariot to help a "boidy whickha fell outta a tree." He helps the "boid" by sniffing some garlic - not spinach! The nephews catch that and and, "see, he didn't spinach." Popeye interrupts, "Don't jump to inclusions...as I was saying...."
He then finishes the story about the battle between Hercules and a visiting strongman-bully (Bluto, who else?) who have a contest to see who's strongest. We see how the Popeye family tree evolved from garlic to spinach.
Did the kids learn anything from the story? No, they still prefer ice cream. (Who can blame them?)
The artwork in this cartoon was above average with nice, bold colors.
