Bluto tries to make Popeye look like a big scaredy cat, and in front of Olive, too. Both guys are sitting at Olive's house one stormy night with Olive reading ghost stories to them (like they were little boys). Actually, all three of them are scared. When a big gust of wind knocks open a window and shutters, all three are scared. Popeye is the worst, hiding under the couch. Bluto and Olive laugh at him and Bluto gets an idea. He excuses himself and then calls the two of them from a deserted motel, pretending to be someone in trouble. Popeye, being the good guy he is, comes to the rescue and brings along Olive.
All the while, it's just a ploy to get them there so Bluto can perform stunts - like the trick stairs and fake skeleton - and scare them, particularly Popeye.
It works.....until Bluto's big laugh gives him away. Popeye and Olive then have fun turning the tables on him.
There aren't a lot of laugh-out-loud sight gags or comments but it's still fast-moving and entertaining. Popeye has a few clever remarks, like when he paints himself with invisible paint. When he does his arms, he announces, "Farewell To Arms!"
