Popeye and Olive Oyl are heading a ship for Olive's secret gold mine (to which they are easily directed by a big neon sign reading "Olive's Secret Gold Mine"). But old reliable Bluto gets there first and tries to grab the gold for himself.
This cartoon sometimes relies too heavily on the gratuitous violence of which 1950's parents so often accused these cartoons. But it's balanced out somewhat by some very good gags, the best of which is Bluto's fey remark when he can't quite reach his goal: "Sometimes I get so discouraged!"
