Heckel and Jeckle. the two talking-magpies are selling hair-tonic in a public park without a license...
Dimwit the hound is going fishing. Heckle and Jeckle are roommates in this one, sharing a single large birdhouse. They taunt Dimwit for no particular reason, then try to steal his catch of fish.
Heckel and Jeckle decide it is too much trouble and time-consuming, not to mention wear-and-tear on their wings, to fly south for the winter, so they will pose as orphans and find some kindly old grandmother to take care of them when the snow flies. They do. But the kindly old grandmother turns out to be a disguised-wolf who has an appetite for magpie soup. This is not at all what they had in mind.
Heckel and Jeckel fly over a country estate and decide it would do just fine as a nesting ground for them, especially since it afforded a few luxuries they could take advantage of. But the Bulldog guardian of the grounds thinks otherwise and makes his objections know. They object to his objections by attacking him with the croquet mallets, pushing him into the swimming pool and several other objectionable ways the talking magpies could come up with.
Heckle and Jeckle see a seemingly helpless baby bird (who keeps saying he is only three years old) in danger as a cat is trying to capture it.
Heckle and Jeckle try to steal food from under the watchful eye of Dimwit the dog.
Heckle & Jeckle are looking for a place to build a bird house, and they decide to do so on McDougal's Rest Farm, which is reserved for peace and quiet. Dimwit, apparently the guard dog here, tries to stop all the racket.
Farmer Al Falfa and his dog try to have a private picnic, but Heckle & Jeckle decide to freeload. The usual hijinks ensue as the farmer and his dog try to get rid of the magpies. Eventually, the farmer gives them a stick of dynamite disguised as a hot dog. As they try to roast it, the farmer drives away in his car to avoid the explosion, but Heckle & Jeckle throw the dynamite into their car.
Bluto, the daring hot air balloon rider, catches the eye of Olive at a carnival, much to Popeye's chagrin. Bluto manages to make Popeye look bad several times, eventually winning a ring at the ball toss and taking her up in his balloon. Of course, he tries to get fresh with her, and Popeye comes to the rescue with the help of some fireworks. The hot air balloon gets a bit too hot, putting Olive in even more danger.
Popeye and Olive are on an African safari, he with a rifle, she with a camera. Olive happens across a Tarzan-like man (Bluto), and she and he are immediately smitten with one another. Popeye catches wind of this and isn't about to stand for the jungle hunk muscling in on his girl. Let the fighting and one-upmanship begin.
Popeye and Bluto are knights, jousting for the honor of Sleeping Beauty (Olive, with long blonde hair). Of course, Bluto plays dirty, squirting grease on the field in front of Popeye's horse, and using an extra-long lance. But Popeye wins anyhow, and climbs SB's tower with Bluto right behind him. They fight over her, playing tug-of-war with her pigtails.
Popeye and Olive are feeding squirrels in the park when the rich and elegant Count Marvo (Bluto), the magician (and practical joker), rides up on his horse and steals Olive away, while tricking Popeye with an exploding cigar and other gimmicks.
