(The camera pans down from the logo to a calm ocean on a sunny day. On the sea is a large gray naval ship. A mermaid appears on the surface of the ocean. She has lavender skin, long purple hair, and light blue eyes. She has woken up from her beauty sleep. A red fish appears and swims next to her. They look around and see the ship. It's sailing across the sea to Honolulu, Hawaii. But then, the mermaid and the fish look at the camera.)

Mermaid: (looking at the camera) Oh! Hello, everyone! I didn't see you here. I'm Coral.

Red Fish: (looking at the camera) And I'm Lenny. Welcome to the movie!

Coral: (looking at the camera) I'm going to tell you a story.

Lenny: Uh, what kind of story, Coral?

Coral: Well, Lenny, it's the story... (looks at the camera) of a one-eyed sailor who gains strength just by eating spinach. His name is Popeye. (turns to Lenny) Come with me. (looks at the camera) You too. I'll show you.

(The camera follows Coral and Lenny as they swim to the ship and look through one of its windows.)

Lenny: Wait a minute. I don't see Popeye here.

Coral: That's because he isn't born yet, Lenny, but he will be. (looks at the camera) However, there's someone else I want to show you.

(Coral and Lenny look through the window. The scene cuts to a Navy sailor in the ship. He's an engineer who is working in the ship's boiler room.)

Coral: (off-screen) This is Poopdeck Pappy, one of the greatest sailors in the United States Navy.

Lenny: (off-screen) Is he Popeye's father?

Coral: (off-screen) Well, not yet.

(While working, Poopdeck Pappy meets an amateur sailor. He's an engineer too.)

Amateur Sailor: Hello there.

Poopdeck Pappy: Huh? Who are you?

Amateur Sailor: I'm Eugene. I joined the Navy yesterday, and here I am, maintaining the fire in the boiler with you. So, what's your name?

Poopdeck Pappy: Call me Poopdeck Pappy.

Eugene: Whatever you say, Poopdeck Pappy.

(So, Eugene and Poopdeck Pappy work together to maintain the fire in the boiler and become friends. The scene cuts to the ship on the ocean. Soon, it arrives at the Honolulu Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii. Eugene and Poopdeck Pappy leave the ship and walk out of the harbor. Then, Coral and Lenny appear on the surface of the ocean.)

Coral: You must stay here, Lenny. Fish like you can't stand on land, but mermaids can. Watch.

(Coral jumps out of the water and lands on a dock. Her green mermaid tail transforms into human legs. As a result, her mermaid outfit transforms into that of a normal human lady. She's wearing a short sleeve purple blouse, a green knee-length skirt, and green high heel sandals. She gets up and stands on two feet. She looks at herself and is quite impressed with her human appearance.)

Coral: Nice. I can get used to this. (looks at the camera) Follow me.

(The camera follows Coral as she runs to a bar in the city of Honolulu. There, she sees Poopdeck Pappy and Eugene in the bar through the window. She looks at the camera.)

Coral: This is where Poopdeck Pappy met Roxy, his future wife... at a bar in Honolulu, Hawaii.

(Coral looks through the window again. The scene cuts to Poopdeck Pappy and Eugene inside the bar.)

Eugene: Can I get you a beer?

Poopdeck Pappy: No thanks, Eugene. I don't drink.

Eugene: I was just asking. Oh well. More beer for me.

(Soon, a bartender arrives. She's a beautiful young woman with smooth, milky skin, long ginger hair, and green eyes. Her name is Roxy.)

Roxy: What can I get you, boys?

Eugene: Two mugs of beer, please.

Poopdeck Pappy: And for me, a glass of water.

Roxy: (laughs at Poopdeck Pappy) I'm sorry, sailor, but only true sailors drink beer, not water. If you are a true sailor, can you prove it?

Poopdeck Pappy: I... I think... I can. Hand me a mug of beer.

Roxy: Coming right up.

(Roxy prepares a mug of beer for Poopdeck Pappy. She gives it to him, and he takes a sip.)

Poopdeck Pappy: That's the taste of beer! This is it!

(Poopdeck Pappy holds up the mug for everyone to see. They all laugh at him.)

Poopdeck Pappy: No? Well, how about now? (downs the entire mug of beer) Ha! I drank it! Now, do you believe me? That I'm a true sailor?

(Roxy, impressed by Poopdeck Pappy's attempt to prove that he is a true sailor, gives him another mug of beer.)

Roxy: Yes. I believe you are. What's your name?

Poopdeck Pappy: The name's Poopdeck Pappy. What's yours?

Roxy: My name is Roxanne. But you can call me Roxy.

Poopdeck Pappy: (shakes Roxy's hand) It's a pleasure to meet you, Roxy. Two more mugs of beer, please.

Roxy: Coming right up.

(Roxy prepares two mugs of beer for Poopdeck Pappy and gives them to him.)

Roxy: Here you go, sir.

Poopdeck Pappy: Thanks. Say, Roxy, would you like to go out with me sometime?

Roxy: Yes, I would!

Poopdeck Pappy: Great!

(Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy hug each other.)

Poopdeck Pappy: I must leave now. I have a job to do in the Navy. I love you, Roxy.

Roxy: Okay. See you later, Poopdeck Pappy.

(Poopdeck Pappy waves goodbye to Roxy and leaves the bar with Eugene. The scene fades to Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy at the beach five months later. They get married.)

Coral: (off-screen) Five months later, Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy got married.

(The scene then fades to a montage of Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy building a sailboat together.)

Coral: (off-screen) After they got married, they built a boat together.

(The montage ends when Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy look at the finished boat. Then, they push it into the ocean. Once it's floating on the water, Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy get on the ship and start sailing to Santa Monica, California.)

Coral: (off-screen) Then, they began to sail to Santa Monica, California.

(The scene cuts to a stormy sky nine months later. A lightning bolt appears in a flash. The scene cuts to Poopdeck Pappy's boat on the stormy sea.)

Coral: (off-screen) Unfortunately, they encountered a typhoon during their voyage.

(The scene cuts to Poopdeck Pappy steering the boat.)

Coral: (off-screen) And while Poopdeck Pappy was doing his best to prevent his ship from getting damaged by the typhoon...

(The scene cuts to Roxy in her room. She's lying in her bed and is about to give birth.)

Coral: (off-screen) ...Roxy gave birth to a baby boy.

(The scene cuts back to Poopdeck Pappy steering the boat. He stops and goes below deck to see Roxy in her room. She has given birth to a baby boy.)

Poopdeck Pappy: (to Roxy) I can't believe it! Roxy, you've given birth to a baby boy in the middle of the storm! (to Poopdeck Pappy's son) Look at you! You're beautiful! Hello there, young lad.

(Poopdeck Pappy hugs and tickles his baby son.)

Poopdeck Pappy: So, what are we going to name him?

Roxy: We'll call him Popeye.

Poopdeck Pappy: Popeye. I like that.

(Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy go above deck to watch the storm with Popeye, their son. The scene cuts to Coral and Lenny watching them on their boat.)

Coral: And Popeye is his name.

Lenny: Popeye, huh? Is that what this story is about?

Coral: Of course, Lenny. (looks at the camera) This is the story of a one-eyed sailor named Popeye.

(The camera pans up through the storm clouds to the sun in the clear blue sky.)

POPEYE

(The camera pans down into the storm clouds and to the boat on the ocean. It's rocking back and forth, the wind is howling, and the rain is pouring hard. The scene cuts to Poopdeck Pappy steering the boat.)

Poopdeck Pappy: We must seek shelter immediately! The storm is too strong for this boat!

(So, Poopdeck Pappy sails on as he seeks shelter from the storm for him, Roxy, and Popeye. While Poopdeck Pappy is looking for shelter, Roxy takes good care of Popeye. But then, she notices he's getting sick.)

Roxy: Uh oh.

Poopdeck Pappy: What's wrong?

Roxy: Our son is getting sick. This isn't good.

Poopdeck Pappy: Hold on, Roxy. You too, Popeye, my son. We're almost there.

Part 2: The Sea Hag/Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy Rescue Popeye/The Search for the Ruby Begins
(The scene cuts to Coral and Lenny on the ocean.)

Lenny: Wait a minute. Popeye's sick? (gasps) Oh no! Oh no no no no no no no! It can't be! How horrible!

Coral: I know. His parents are going to take him to an island somewhere in this ocean.

Lenny: What kind of island is it?

Coral: Well, Lenny, it's small but very dangerous.

Lenny: (gasps) Oh, my goodness! They're sending him there?! I can't believe they would do something like that! How could anyone go there?!

Coral: Lenny, relax. It's just a story.

Lenny: Just a story? The story you're telling is the account of what's about to happen to that poor baby! I can't look!

Coral: Don't worry, Lenny. I'll see to it myself. You should stay here. I'll be right back.

Lenny: Oh. Okay. Well, hurry back, Coral.

(Coral turns around and starts swimming as she begins to follow the boat. The scene cuts to the boat sailing across the stormy sea. After a few minutes, the storm passes. The wind dies down. The boat stops moving. The scene cuts to Poopdeck Pappy, Roxy, and Popeye on the boat.)

Roxy: Are we there yet?

Poopdeck Pappy: Yes, we are.

(Popeye, Poopdeck Pappy, and Roxy have arrived at a small but dangerous island surrounded by shipwrecks. The island is called Plunder Island. At the center of the island is the largest shipwreck of them all. That's where a sea witch lives.)

Poopdeck Pappy: Well, this is it. We're here.

Roxy: We can't land here. We're too close to the sea witch.

Poopdeck Pappy: But our son is sick. Perhaps the sea witch can help us heal him.

Roxy: I don't like this at all. Let's explore the island a little bit.

Poopdeck Pappy: Fine.

(So, Poopdeck Pappy, Popeye, and Roxy explore Plunder Island. They walk around it and look around. The island is indeed dangerous.)

Poopdeck Pappy: Well, we're done exploring the island. Let's go see the sea witch now.

(Poopdeck Pappy, Popeye, and Roxy walk away. The scene cuts to Coral swimming towards Plunder Island. She arrives on shore and transforms into a human again.)

Coral: (looks at the camera) This is Plunder Island. This is where Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy took their son, Popeye. They were visiting a sea witch who lives on the island. You don't want to mess with her. She's dark to the core.

(The scene cuts to Poopdeck Pappy, Popeye, and Roxy at the center of the island. They enter the huge shipwreck. Inside it is a large cave. When they reach the cave, they encounter several sea monsters. They escort them to the sea witch's house. They get inside the house only to see a huge clam. Then, the clam opens, revealing the sea witch herself inside it.)

The Sea Hag: Hello there. I've been expecting you.

Poopdeck Pappy: So, you must be the sea witch, huh?

The Sea Hag: Yep. That's who I am. You can call me the Sea Hag. Now, how can I be of service?

Poopdeck Pappy: My wife just gave birth to a baby boy. His name is Popeye. He's very sick, and he's going to die. Can you please help us heal our son?

(Poopdeck Pappy reveals Popeye to the sea witch. She takes a close look at him. Then, she notices that he's one-eyed like her.)

The Sea Hag: That's interesting. I have something that can help you heal your son.

(The sea witch cackles with laughter and opens her other eye, revealing a ruby. She uses the power from the ruby in her eye to cure Popeye but at the cost of his soul. Popeye becomes a mindless, one-eyed sea zombie that the sea witch can use as she pleases.)

The Sea Hag: Your son is cured. But now, he's a sea zombie, and I own him. He's my slave now.

Poopdeck Pappy: You're a monster! I'll never let you take away our son!

The Sea Hag: Oh, really? Watch me. Minions, escort them out.

(The sea witch's minions grab Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy by the arms and escort them out of her house.)

Roxy: Wait! You can't take away our son! He needs us, and we need him!

(One of the sea witch's minions opens the door, and the other two kick Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy out of her house. The first minion then closes the door once they're outside. Popeye is now alone with the sea witch inside her house.)

The Sea Hag: Minions, leave me. I want to have some fun with my new slave.

(The sea witch's minions leave her room, and she approaches Popeye.)

The Sea Hag: Come along, Popeye. Let's have some fun.

(The scene cuts to the sea witch's house in the cave. The door opens, revealing the sea witch. The enslaved baby Popeye follows her out of her house, and she leads him to a large cave in the shipwreck at the center of the island. In the cave, there is a big mermaid lagoon. The sea witch takes Popeye to the lagoon to see some mermaids. Three mermaids appear in the lagoon and see Popeye with the sea witch.)

The Sea Hag: Mermaids, meet my sea zombie slave, Popeye.

(The mermaids study Popeye and then swim away. The sea witch looks at Popeye. He's scared.)

The Sea Hag: Oh, they're just shy. They'll get used to you eventually.

(The scene fades to Popeye in the sea witch's bedroom later that night. He's sleeping with her in her bed.)

Coral: (off-screen) But Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy couldn't bear to leave Popeye alone with the sea witch. So, they got a few tricks up their sleeves. For example, they disguised themselves as her minions to rescue their enslaved son.

(Two of the sea witch's minions enter the room and see Popeye. They turn out to be his parents in disguise.)

Roxy: Hello, Popeye. It's us, your parents.

Poopdeck Pappy: We're here to get you out.

(Roxy and Poopdeck Pappy gently pick Popeye up. Poopdeck Pappy places Popeye on Roxy's arms, and she walks out of her room with him. Once Popeye and Roxy are out, Poopdeck Pappy steals the ruby from the sea witch's eye socket. He replaces the ruby with a stone and leaves her room with it. When the sea witch wakes up, she finds out that Popeye and the ruby are missing. She screams in fright. Her minions enter her room to see her.)

Minion #1: What's the matter?

Minion #2: What are you screaming about?

The Sea Hag: My slave and jewel are missing! Help me find them!

Minion #1: Yes, master. Come on, boys. Let's go.

(The sea witch's minions leave to find Popeye and the ruby. Elsewhere on the island, Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy take their baby son to the shore at the end of the island. They hide in one of the shipwrecks on the island to avoid getting caught by the sea witch's minions.)

Roxy: What are we going to do now?

Poopdeck Pappy: I don't know. We'd better get out of here.

(But then, Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy sense the sea witch's minions getting closer towards them. They look for something to hide Popeye in. Eventually, they see a crate of spinach. They look at him with the ruby.)

Poopdeck Pappy: Popeye, whatever happens, your mother and I will love you always and forever.

(Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy hug Popeye. Roxy opens the top lid of the crate of spinach. Then, Poopdeck Pappy puts Popeye inside it. The crate is so large that it will hold him and the ruby. He sinks into the spinach. Roxy looks at Popeye one last time before closing the top lid of the crate. Then, she and Poopdeck Pappy push the crate away onto the ocean as the sea witch's minions arrive and grab hold of them.)

Poopdeck Pappy: Goodbye, Popeye. We'll always remember you.

(Popeye watches as his parents are taken away by the sea witch's minions to the dungeon below her house. The sea witch looks for Popeye and the ruby, but he's gone. She screams, and the sea turns to foam. Her minions are confused and cannot find him.)

The Sea Hag: You fools! If the ruby isn't returned by the seventh equinox of the crystal moon on the night of a magpie's crow, all will be lost!

Minion #1: Uh, master, when you say the ruby should be returned by the seventh equinox of the crystal moon on the night of a magpie's crow, that means it will be returned in, like, 21 years.

Minion #2: Yeah! We've got plenty of time to search for that ruby and return it to you.

(Suddenly, the sea witch's magic is beginning to wear off.)

The Sea Hag: Oh no! You see? The magic's wearing off already! Now, go!

(The sea witch's minions get into their boats and start searching for baby Popeye and the ruby. They will continue to search until the end of the seventh equinox of the crystal moon on the night of a magpie's crow. The camera pans to the crate of spinach floating on the ocean. The scene cuts to Popeye and the ruby safe inside the crate. While he's eating spinach, the ruby makes it magical. So, every time he eats spinach, it gives him superhuman strength.)

Coral: (off-screen) But then, in the crate, something strange happened. The ruby made the spinach in the crate magical. So, every time Popeye eats spinach, it gives him superhuman strength.

(Suddenly, a giant octopus arrives and is about to eat Popeye. But then, he eats some spinach and swallows it. He gets stronger because of it and attacks the octopus. He uses him as a baby rattle and then as a jump rope. The octopus can't stand Popeye. So, he puts him back inside the crate and rocks him to sleep. Popeye gets tired and sleeps in the crate. Once he's asleep, the octopus wipes his forehead and sighs in relief. Then, he swims away. The crate floats onward on the ocean with Popeye sleeping in it.)

Part 3: Popeye Arrives at Sea Haven/Popeye at the Orphanage
(The scene fades to the spinach crate floating on the ocean. The scene cuts to Popeye sleeping inside the crate. When he wakes up, he finds himself still inside the crate. He looks through a hole in it and sees only water. He's still on the ocean. He eats some more spinach. Suddenly, his strength grows again. Popeye opens the top lid of the crate and climbs out. He's a little bit dizzy, but he's okay.)

Baby Popeye: Mama? Dada?

(Popeye looks around and sees only the ocean.)

Baby Popeye: Mama! Dada!

(As Popeye is shouting for his parents, he accidentally drops the magic ruby into the sea. He watches as it sinks to the ocean floor. He gets back inside the crate and sleeps. Two dolphins appear and watch Popeye float away in the crate. They look at each other and dive into the ocean. The crate drifts away on the ocean from Plunder Island. Coral and Lenny appear on the surface of the ocean again and watch the crate float away. They then look at the camera.)

Coral: (looking at the camera) Well, here's the sad part of this story. Popeye drifted away from that dreadful Plunder Island, and he never saw his parents again.

Lenny: Yeah. It's a real bummer.

Coral: I know. But this next part should be happier.

(The scene fades to Popeye sleeping inside the crate the next morning. He wakes up and hears a ship's horn blowing. He looks through the hole in the crate and sees ships on the ocean. Then, he sees a seaside village. There are houses and streets in the village. There are even people living in it. Eventually, the crate arrives at a beach.)

Coral: (off-screen) Eventually, Popeye arrived at a seaside village called Sea Haven.

(Several beachgoers look at the crate on the beach. One of them, a big beautiful woman, opens the crate and sees Popeye and a lot of spinach in it.)

Woman: Well, would you look at that? It's a baby.

Coral: (off-screen) There, he was greeted by a nice lady with a nice smile.

(The other three beachgoers see Popeye in the crate of spinach. They are children. The first of the three children is a boy. He's a rascal who is pointing at Popeye and laughing. The second is a girl. She's the boy's younger sister. The third is another boy. All of them seem very happy to see Popeye. The big beautiful woman gets him out of the crate and shows him to the three children.)

Boy #1: Are you sure that's a baby?

Girl: You tell me. He looks like a one-eyed sea monster.

(The two boys and the girl laugh. The big beautiful woman lifts Popeye and looks at him.)

Woman: We'll call him Popeye.

Baby Popeye: Popeye. (laughs)

(The big beautiful woman carries the seemingly orphaned baby Popeye out of the beach with the three orphaned children following her.)

Woman: Welcome to the village of Sea Haven. You can stay with us until we find your parents, or you get adopted, or you become an adult and find them on your own.

(The scene cuts to a sign saying "Welcome to Sea Haven". The camera zooms out to reveal fishermen selling seafood.)

Swordfish Salesman: Get your swordfish! Get your fresh swordfish!

(The scene cuts to Popeye, the big beautiful woman, and the three orphaned children at the dock.)

Fisherman: Hey, Judy! Found another orphan on the beach, huh?

Judy: This one is in a spinach crate.

Fisherman: Oh, that's a new one.

Judy: I'll have to take good care of him. You go on and get your fish.

Fisherman: Will do, Judy!

(The camera pans to a man taking a picture of a fisherman and a swordfish he caught. The swordfish, who was supposedly dead, wakes up. He frees himself and attacks the fisherman and everyone else at the dock. The swordfish catches the fisherman and ties him up. Then, another swordfish arrives with a camera and takes a picture of him and the fisherman. Then, the two swordfish dive into the ocean and swim away. The scene cuts to Popeye, Judy, and the three orphaned children walking on the sidewalk in Sea Haven. Judy brings Popeye and the three orphaned children to an orphanage in the village. Judy runs the orphanage, and a lot of orphans live with her. The scene cuts to the nursery inside the orphanage. Judy enters the room with Popeye.)

Judy: Alrighty. I'll just put Popeye with the darling of the orphanage.

(The scene cuts to a fat baby sleeping in his crib.)

Judy: Bluto, I have a new friend for you.

(Bluto wakes up and sees Judy and baby Popeye.)

Baby Bluto: Ga goo.

Judy: Aren't you the sweetest and most handsomest little guy? Bluto, this is Popeye.

(Judy puts Popeye in Bluto's crib. Bluto hugs him.)

Judy: Oh, isn't that cute? I just know you two will be life-long friends.

(Judy gives Popeye a blue baby rattle. He takes it and shakes it around. Bluto gets jealous. So, he snatches the rattle away from Popeye. He tries to get it back from him, but he punches him in the face. Bluto plays with the rattle while Popeye cries. He then hits him with it. The scene cuts to a time-lapse exterior shot of the orphanage.)

Coral: (off-screen) Time went by, and as Popeye grew, so did his troubles, for no matter what he did, he just couldn't fit in.

(The scene cuts to a seven-year-old Popeye in a bedroom at the orphanage. He's sleeping in his bed. Soon, he wakes up and looks out the window. He looks at the village of Sea Haven near the ocean. Then, he sees a whale swimming in the ocean.)

Young Popeye: Right on time.

(The whale sees Popeye from far away and waves hello. Then, he dives into the ocean.)

Young Popeye: Good morning, everybody!

(Popeye's fellow orphans groan miserably.)

Young Popeye: It's a beautiful day! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the fish are swimming, and the air is nice and salty. Just the way I like it.

(Popeye imitates a dolphin chirp while flopping like a fish. The other orphans cover their ears and walk away from him.)

Orphan: Gah! You're so weird!

(The other orphans leave the bedroom as they leave Popeye alone. He looks out the window again and watches the village of Sea Haven, remembering the beach where he met the woman who took him in. He sighs sadly and lays on his bed.)

Young Popeye: Why does my life have to be so miserable? I wish I could see my parents again.

(Popeye closes his eyes and sighs sadly.)

Part 4: Popeye's Troubled Childhood
(The scene fades to a sand castle on the beach. Popeye walks towards the sand castle and finds some children hiding in it.)

Young Popeye: Hey, everybody!

(The children peek out of the sand castle and see Popeye. One of them is Bluto. Then, they see a piece of paper covering Popeye's right eye. It has a drawing of an eyeball on it.)

Young Popeye: Nothing weird here. I can see with both my eyes. And you guys are building a sand castle. Can I help?

Young Bluto: No. Why don't you go back to that spinach crate you washed up in and leave us alone?

(Popeye gets sad. But then, the paper falls off, revealing his permanently closed right eye.)

Young Bluto: Agh! The cyclops was in disguise! He's gonna destroy our city! Get him!

(Popeye sadly walks away as Bluto and the other children throw sand balls at him.)

Young Bluto: Hooray! We drove that monster away!

(Bluto and the other children see another child on the beach.)

Bluto: (gasps) Look out! It's the sandworm!

(The child is pretending to be a sandworm. It turns out that Bluto and the other children are just pretending. Elsewhere in the village, a young girl is watching some children playing on the beach while licking her rainbow lollipop.)

Girl: Mommy, what are those kids doing?

(The girl's mother, a woman with a pink hood over her blonde hair, looks at the beach.)

Girl's Mother: Hmm. I'm not sure. But they might be pretending.

Girl: Pretending? What's that?

Girl's Mother: I think it's what people imagine. That they are something that they're not.

Girl: Wow! It kind of looks fun!

Girl's Father: Nonsense. You're Olive Oyl, the girl from the house on the hill.

(Olive Oyl, the young rich girl who lives in a mansion on a hill, walks away with her parents.)

Cole Oyl: Why would you want to be anything else?

Young Olive Oyl: You know what? I've changed my mind! I don't want to be anything else!

Cole Oyl: Exactly.

Nana Oyl: We don't want you pretending. We love you the way you are. Come along, Olive. Let's go home.

(Olive and her parents walk away as they go home. Popeye walks away from the beach as he continues his life as an orphan. The scene cuts to a doorbell on a wall. It's from the orphanage. A man rings the doorbell. The scene cuts to Judy, the orphan keeper, inside the orphanage.)

Judy: Parents are here!

(Judy opens the door and lets a married couple inside the orphanage. Popeye and Bluto see them.)

Man #1 and Woman #1: Who wants to join our family?

Young Bluto: Ha! Now that's what I'm talking about! Look at all that stuff! (runs towards the married couple) Mama! Dada!

(The man and the woman look at Bluto and Popeye.)

Woman: We'd like to adopt this one. (points at Bluto)

Man: That other kid has his right eye permanently closed. We don't want to adopt him. He's too weird.

(The man and the woman leave the orphanage with Bluto, their now adopted son. Judy watches them leave.)

Judy: Thank you! Come again!

(Another married couple shows up at the orphanage.)

Man #2 and Woman #2: We're looking for...

(Soon, all the other adults show up and adopt every single orphan in the orphanage except Popeye. The scene cuts to the adults leaving the orphanage with their now adopted children. The camera pans up to Popeye watching them leave through the window.)

Coral: (off-screen) Kids came and went, but Popeye realized there would never be any place where he could feel like he belonged.

(The scene cuts to Popeye on his bed in the bedroom. He's still watching the adults leave the orphanage with their now adopted children through the window. He lays his head on his pillow and looks at the ceiling. He sighs sadly. Then, Judy enters the room.)

Judy: Popeye, are you up here? Oh! There you are.

(Judy sits on Popeye's bed and talks to him.)

Judy: Popeye, come downstairs. Parents are here.

Young Popeye: Why should I? No one's gonna want me.

Judy: Why not? Everyone else got adopted, including Bluto. There's no reason you should be alone up here.

(Popeye places his face on his pillow and turns away.)

Judy: Look. I know there's someone for you. You're just special. One of a kind.

(Popeye sits up and looks at Judy.)

Young Popeye: That's the problem when you're one of a kind or different from everyone else.

(Popeye gets up from his bed and walks away. He walks out of the orphanage and goes to the beach.)

Young Popeye: I'm special, huh? More like rejected.

(Popeye looks at some seagulls flying above the ocean. Then, he sits on the sand and hugs his knees. The scene cuts to some clouds floating in the sky, then to the grass swaying with the wind, and then to some waves on the ocean. The scene cuts back to Popeye sitting on the sand and hugging his knees. But then, a ruby arrives as it gets washed up on the shore. It's the same ruby the sea witch once possessed. Popeye takes no notice of it. So, he stands up and walks away. The scene cuts to Coral and Lenny on the ocean.)

Coral: Huh? Our hero didn't take the bait.

Lenny: What bait?

Coral: Hello! The story bait!

Lenny: Oh! That kind of bait. Is it the ruby?

Coral: Precisely. Popeye didn't notice it, but we'll make him notice it and use it.

Lenny: Oh, yes. Let's do it.

(Coral and Lenny swim to the ruby on the shore. Coral gets out of the water and transforms into a human. Then, she picks up the ruby and throws it at Popeye. He turns around and sees Coral. She gets back into the water and transforms into a mermaid again.)

Young Popeye: Hey! What's the big idea?

Coral: (laughs) You don't have a clue who I am or what I'm here to do.

(Popeye looks at the camera and shrugs. Then, he walks away.)

Young Popeye: Weird.

(Coral gets out of the water and transforms into a human again. Then, she picks up the ruby and throws it at Popeye again. He turns around and sees her again.)

Young Popeye: Who keeps doing that?

Coral: You do. I'm your conscience.

Young Popeye: My what?

Coral: Your conscience. I represent the voice in your head that tells you to do the right thing.

Young Popeye: Is that what you're here to do? To tell me to do the right thing?

(Coral nods. Popeye turns around and walks away. Coral gets angry. So, she picks up the ruby and throws it at Popeye again. He turns around and sees her again.)

Young Popeye: That's it! I'm gonna...

(But then, Popeye sees a lot of sea creatures behind Coral.)

Young Popeye: Whoa!

(Coral and the sea creatures point at the ruby on the sand.)

Young Popeye: You want me to pick this up?

(Coral nods. The sea creatures nod as well.)

Young Popeye: Fine. I'll pick it up.

(Popeye walks over to the ruby and picks it up.)

Coral: Good choice.

(Popeye looks closely at the ruby.)

Young Popeye: Whoa. This is oddly familiar.

(Popeye looks at his reflection on the ruby. Then, his reflection becomes that of his parents. He sees their reflection on the ruby. Soon, the reflection becomes an image on the ruby. In the image, Popeye's parents put baby Popeye inside a spinach crate. They push it away onto the ocean. Finally, the image becomes that of Plunder Island. At the center of the island is the large shipwreck.)

Young Popeye: A shipwreck shaped like a shark?

(The image on the ruby soon becomes that of Poopdeck Pappy, Popeye's father, giving him the ruby.)

Poopdeck Pappy: (in the image on the ruby) One day, we'll be together again.

(Then, Roxy, Popeye's mother, appears in the image on the ruby.)

Roxy: (in the image on the ruby) Whatever happens, your father and I will always love you, Popeye, our son.

(Soon, the image on the ruby disappears, and in its place is Popeye's reflection. The reflection smiles at him.)

Young Popeye's Reflection: You're special, Popeye. You're loved. You are the son of Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy. They are your parents.

Young Popeye: I'm their son? I have a mom and dad? I have a mom and dad.

(Popeye hugs the ruby and cherishes it.)

Young Popeye: That's where I need to be... with them. Thank you, ocean!

(The sea creatures respond with their noises as a way of saying "you're welcome". Then, they swim away.)

Young Popeye: You too, mermaid. Thank you.

Coral: I have a name.

Young Popeye: Really? What's your name?

Coral: My name is Coral. What's yours?

Young Popeye: My name is Popeye. I'm gonna be a sailor on the seven seas.

Coral: I know. I can see you have the potential to be a sailor like your father.

Young Popeye: I want to be with my parents.

Coral: Then find them. Be with them.

Young Popeye: I will. Thank you, Coral.

Coral: You're welcome, Popeye. Now, go. Find your parents. Goodbye, Popeye.

Young Popeye: Bye, Coral!

(Coral jumps into the ocean and transforms into a mermaid. Then, she swims away. A rainbow appears in the sky. Popeye looks at the rainbow. Then, he happily walks away from the beach and returns to the orphanage.)

Young Popeye: Now I know who I am and what I'm here to do.

(Popeye goes upstairs and finds his bed in the bedroom. Then, he sees a poster of a boat on the wall. This gives him an idea.)

Young Popeye: I've got to build a boat!

(Popeye leaves the bedroom.)

Part 5: Building the Boat/Popeye Meets Eugene the Jeep
(The scene cuts to a junkyard in Sea Haven. The junkyard is full of old cars, broken appliances, and random metal. There is also a large pile of scrap wood and crates on the ground. Popeye enters the junkyard. There, he sees a broken boat and decides to renovate it. First, he gathers the materials for the boat. He collects the scrap wood, which he can use as a frame for the boat. He collects some fabric sheets, which he can use as sails. Then, Popeye puts on a pair of goggles and uses a chainsaw to saw off the stern. Then, he removes some parts from a broken jet engine. Finally, he collects all the other materials in the junkyard for the boat and begins building it.)

(While Popeye is building the boat, he hears a chirp. The noise is coming from a can. He looks inside it but finds nothing. He doesn't notice a magical animal sitting on his forehead. It's a yellow creature about the size of a dog who walks on its hind legs. It has a bear-like head and ears but a large nose, long tail, and protruding belly. Popeye scratches the creature's head with his finger when he means to scratch his own head. The creature scratches Popeye's head with his paws. Popeye scratches the creature's head again.)

Young Popeye: That itches.

(Popeye scratches the creature's back with his hands when he means to scratch his own head. Popeye looks around until he finally sees the creature on his head.)

Young Popeye: Hey! Was that you all along?

(The creature chirps and then crawls off Popeye's head. He then crawls all over him.)

Young Popeye: Hey! Whoa!

(Popeye grabs the creature and looks at him.)

Young Popeye: You're a strange little... whatever you are.

Creature: Jeep jeep!

Young Popeye: Jeep?

Creature: Jeep!

Young Popeye: Jeep?

Creature: Jeep!

Young Popeye: Jeep?

Creature: Jeep!

Young Popeye: Jeep?

Creature: Jeep!

Young Popeye: Jeep?

Creature: Jeep!

Young Popeye: Jeep?

Creature: Jeep!

Young Popeye: Okay, okay, I got it. Jeep!

Creature: Jeep!

(Suddenly, the creature floats up to the sky. Then, he disappears.)

Young Popeye: Whoa! Where'd he go?

(The creature appears behind Popeye.)

Young Popeye: You're a magic little guy.

(The creature disappears and reappears. He pounces on Popeye and licks his face.)

Young Popeye: Hey! Alright there, little Jeep. Look. I don't have time to chat. I have to build a boat so I can find my parents. So, goodbye.

(Popeye gets up and walks away from the creature, now known as a Jeep. He sees the Jeep again that appears in front of him. He talks to him in his unique language that is limited to only one word, the word "jeep".)

Jeep: Jeep jeep?

Subtitle: Do you need help?

Young Popeye: What? No. I don't need any help.

(Popeye continues building the boat. He grabs a saw and uses it to saw a wood board. The Jeep appears on the board.)

Jeep: Jeep jeep?

Subtitle: You're building a boat?

Young Popeye: Yes.

Jeep: Jeep jeep?

Subtitle: Do you need help?

Young Popeye: I said I don't need your help.

(The Jeep disappears, and Popeye gets back to sawing the board. Later, Popeye is installing the front half of a car onto the boat when the Jeep appears again. He honks the car horn on the steering wheel, startling him. Popeye looks at the Jeep who is playing around with the steering wheel.)

Young Popeye: I don't need your help!

(Popeye climbs down the ladder and walks away to get some more supplies for the boat. He goes to a pile of junk and climbs up. Then, he grabs some pipes from the pile and walks down. Suddenly, a large steel pipe at the top of the pile rolls down, trapping Popeye inside it.)

Young Popeye: Help. Help!

(The scene cuts to Popeye inside the steel pipe. He hugs his knees when the Jeep appears again. Popeye sighs in defeat.)

Young Popeye: Will you please get me out of here?

(The Jeep nods. So, he extends his tail and slides it underneath the pipe. He extends his arm, and Popeye shakes his hand, using him as a scissor jack to free himself from the pipe. Popeye and the Jeep get out of it.)

Young Popeye: Okay. You can help.

(The Jeep is overjoyed and jumps around happily.)

Young Popeye: I'll call you Eugene. Yeah. Eugene the Jeep. That'll be your name.

(Eugene the Jeep nods and smiles at Popeye.)

Young Popeye: Well, time to get to work.

(The scene cuts to a montage of Popeye building his boat with Eugene the Jeep helping him. The scene cuts to Coral (in her human form) and Lenny walking to the junkyard. There, they see Popeye and Eugene the Jeep building the boat together.)

Lenny: Well, time sure flies when you're building a boat.

Coral: Yep. It sure does, Lenny.

Lenny: I wonder when they're gonna finish building it.

Coral: When Popeye is 21. In other words, they'll finish building it in 14 years. (looks at the camera) Oh, yeah. Speaking of which, 14 years passed, and the boat was finally complete. Popeye had grown up to be a fine young man.

(The camera pans up to a door on the boat. The door opens, revealing Popeye, now a 21-year-old man. He hoists the anchor and turns on the engine. Eugene the Jeep wires the engine to the rest of the boat. He turns on the controls and pushes the periscope up to the ceiling. Then, he climbs up to the boat's helm.)

Popeye: Okay! We're ready.

(A whale appears on the surface of the ocean. He grabs the rope with his teeth and starts pulling the boat. He pulls it towards the water. The boat rises on the surface of the ocean and is now floating. Popeye and Eugene the Jeep wave goodbye to the whale.)

Popeye: Thank you!

(The whale waves goodbye to Popeye and Eugene the Jeep and swims away. Eugene the Jeep puts his hands behind his back.)

Popeye: Hmm. What do you have back there?

(Eugene the Jeep takes his hands out from behind his back. He opens them, revealing a white mariner's cap and a smoking pipe. He shows them to Popeye.)

Popeye: Oh! Are those for me?

(Eugene the Jeep nods.)

Popeye: Sorry, Eugene. I don't smoke.

Eugene the Jeep: Jeep jeep!

Subtitle: It's your lucky day!

Popeye: Oh, alright.

(Popeye puts on the white mariner's cap on his head and sticks the smoking pipe in his mouth. He puts his arms on his hips and stands confident. Eugene the Jeep claps for him. Popeye gets his hands on the wheel and prepares to sail.)

Popeye: We're off to find the shipwreck shaped like a shark!

(However, Popeye can't see the shark-shaped shipwreck anywhere in the ocean. It can only be found at the center of Plunder Island.)

Popeye: Hmm. Maybe we should get some directions first.

Part 6: Olive Oyl's Arabian Fantasy in Her Room/Olive Oyl's Flashback with Bluto/Bluto Proposes to Olive Oyl
(The scene cuts to a close-up shot of the sun in the clear blue sky. The camera zooms out to reveal that it's actually a painting on a wall. Then, a hand appears on-screen on the floor. Then, another hand appears. The two hands move forward, revealing two separate arms, which they're attached to. The two arms then move forward, revealing the rest of the body belonging to Olive Oyl, now a 21-year-old woman. She's crawling on the floor in her room, pretending to be dehydrated.)

Olive Oyl: Hot! Ugh! It's so hot in the sun! Ugh! Oh no! What is that? (quickly sits up) The poor princess! Treacherous Arabian bandits?!

(Olive Oyl quickly gets up and climbs onto her fainting couch. Then, she climbs up a stack of pillows on the fainting couch and sits on the pillow at the top of the stack. She grabs two curtain ropes and uses them as reins. She pretends to ride a camel.)

Olive Oyl: All of a sudden, like, she was stopped by the scourge of the desert: Ali Baba.

(Olive Oyl dresses up as Ali Baba and pretends to be him.)

Olive Oyl: (in a gruff voice, pretending to be Ali Baba) Hand over your gold, beautiful princess.

(Olive Oyl dresses up as an Arabian princess and pretends to be one.)

Olive Oyl: (in her normal, girly voice) Eek! You'll never get your crummy hands on my gold!

(Olive Oyl grabs a pepper shaker and shakes it around, spreading pepper on the floor. Then, she pretends to ride a camel to run away from Ali Baba.)

Olive Oyl: The princess made a run for it! But Ali Baba grabbed the gold!

(But then, Olive Oyl begins to lose her balance. The stack of pillows on the fainting couch collapses, sending her falling towards her bed. The pillows then fall off the fainting couch while Olive Oyl lands on her bed. She then bounces on the bed, accidentally spreading pepper from the shaker on it and then on herself.)

Olive Oyl: Ack! The pepper! It burns like lava!

(But then, because Olive Oyl has pepper on herself, she sneezes uncontrollably, sending her flying across the room. Her mother, Nana Oyl, enters her room when she sees her sneezing uncontrollably and flying across the room. Olive Oyl sneezes again, sending her flying towards the ceiling. Then, she falls from it and lands on the floor.)

Nana Oyl: Sunflower, look at what you've done to your outfit. Have you been pretending again?

(Olive Oyl gets up and sees Nana Oyl. She sneezes before she can reply.)

Olive Oyl: Yes, I was.

Nana Oyl: I just don't understand. You have a life that everyone dreams of, and yet, you still continue these silly little charades.

Olive Oyl: Well, yes, but...

(Nana Oyl interrupts Olive Oyl while she's fixing her hair and dressing her up.)

Nana Oyl: You live in this amazing house. You have all the stuff you'll ever need. Then, you have the most incredible boyfriend.

Olive Oyl: Oh, yeah. Bluto.

Nana Oyl: (sighs happily) I still remember when you guys first met.

(The scene fades to a flashback sequence of Bluto and Olive Oyl. In that sequence, a teenage Bluto is riding his blue bike with yellow flames printed on it when he sees a teenage Olive Oyl riding her pink bike with flowers printed on it. The two stop and stand face to face.)

Teenage Bluto: Whoa! Nice bike.

Teenage Olive Oyl: Thanks.

Teenage Bluto: Do you live around here?

Teenage Olive Oyl: Yes. I live with my parents in the house on the hill.

(Olive Oyl points to her house on the hill. Bluto looks at it in awe.)

Teenage Bluto: Do you want to get some ice cream or something?

Teenage Olive Oyl: Sure.

(Back in the present day, Olive Oyl and Nana Oyl are still having a conversation in her room. Nana Oyl is reminiscing about the moment Olive Oyl and Bluto first met.)

Nana Oyl: (as she continues helping Olive Oyl get ready for her date with Bluto) And I think someday soon, you'll get married, have beautiful hairy children, and live in this house forever.

Olive Oyl: Yes, someday. (shudders)

Nana Oyl: What's wrong?

Olive Oyl: Well, it seems like everybody knows what's best for me when I don't even know who me is yet.

(Olive Oyl removes a flower from her dress. Nana Oyl takes the flower and puts it on Olive Oyl's dress again.)

Nana Oyl: Oh, beanpole, don't be ridiculous. You're Olive Oyl, the girl from the house on the hill!

Olive Oyl: (smiles nervously) Yeah. I guess I am.

(But then, Olive Oyl and Nana Oyl hear the doorbell ringing.)

Nana Oyl: I wonder who that could be. I'll get it.

(Nana Oyl leaves Olive Oyl's room and goes downstairs to the foyer. There, she opens the front door and sees Bluto, who is now a 21-year-old man.)

Bluto: Hello, Mrs. Oyl. Is your daughter, Olive Oyl, here?

Nana Oyl: Yes, she's in her room.

Bluto: Great. I'm here to ask for her hand in marriage.

Nana Oyl: Oh, dear. I think I know what you want. Olive Oyl's a good girl. She doesn't want to get married just yet.

Bluto: Really? Will this change your mind?

(Bluto takes out a black ring box and opens it, revealing a tiny diamond engagement ring. He shows it to Nana Oyl.)

Bluto: Take a look at that.

Nana Oyl: Ha! You call that a ring? This is what a ring looks like.

(Nana Oyl shows Bluto her wedding ring. It has a huge diamond on it.)

Bluto: Whoa! That's a really big jewel!

(Bluto smiles nervously and chuckles. Then, he laughs out loud. Finally, he stops laughing and calms down. He gulps in fear.)

Bluto: Oh, dear.

Nana Oyl: Come back tomorrow with a real ring, and I'll let you marry Olive Oyl... because if you don't...

Bluto: If I don't?

Nana Oyl: If you don't show up with a real ring, or you instead show up with a fake one like the one you showed me, I will never let you marry my daughter, and she will have to marry someone else. Do you understand?

Bluto: Understood.

(Bluto turns around and walks away from the house. Nana Oyl closes the door and walks out of the foyer.)

Part 7: Popeye Finds the Directions to Plunder Island/Popeye Meets Wimpy
(The scene cuts to a dock in Sea Haven. Popeye's boat appears as he parks it there. The scene cuts to Popeye and Eugene the Jeep in his boat.)

Popeye: I wonder if I can find someone who knows where the shipwreck is. Come along, Eugene.

(Popeye and Eugene the Jeep leave the boat and go to the town of Sea Haven. There, they arrive at a restaurant.)

Popeye: If anyone knows the island where my parents are, they'll be in here.

(Popeye is about to enter the restaurant when he sees a "No Animals Allowed" sign at the front entrance. Popeye looks at Eugene the Jeep and notices he's an animal.)

Popeye: Um, maybe you should just wait out here, Jeep. I'll be right back.

Eugene the Jeep: (shakes his head) Jeep! Jeep jeep jeep! Jeep jeep. Jeep jeep jeep!

Subtitle: No, I'm coming in! I'm a Jeep. I'm an animal!

Popeye: I know, I know. But you can't come with me inside. So, you must wait outside. I'll be back.

(Eugene the Jeep starts whimpering. His eyes grow big and look sad and cute.)

Popeye: Oh, come on. What are you doing? Don't do this to me.

(Eugene the Jeep becomes sad and whimpers. He doesn't want to be left outside alone.)

Popeye: Oh, I can't look.

(Popeye tries to look away from Eugene the Jeep, but he can't resist the cuteness of his sad face. Popeye takes off his hat and squeezes it. But then, he looks at it and has an idea.)

Popeye: Hey, Jeep. I have an idea.

(The scene cuts to black. The door opens as Popeye enters the restaurant with Eugene the Jeep. He's sitting on his head, disguising himself as a coonskin cap. Popeye walks through a dark room with fishing equipment and dead fish. He sees a shark jaw display. Then, he sees a dead pufferfish on a hook. He slowly backs up only to turn around and see a dead fish on five hooks. He quickly backs up and stands against a fishing net. His back touches the net, revealing two pirate skeletons hanging on the ceiling. He looks at the skeletons and runs to the door. He opens it and enters the next room. It turns out to be a seafood restaurant. A group of people sits at a table, eating lobsters and clams. The smell of seafood makes Popeye's stomach grumble. A woman appears and walks towards Popeye. She's the hostess.)

Hostess: Yargh! Ahoy there, matey! Welcome to Red Lobster!

(The hostess rings the bell. Popeye sees people eating all kinds of seafood, including fried shrimp.)

Hostess: Would you like to be in the hold or on the deck, you scallywag?

Popeye: I think I'd like to be on the deck.

Hostess: Sure thing. Follow me.

(The hostess leads Popeye to an empty table on the top deck of the boat-shaped seafood restaurant.)

Hostess: Have a seat.

(Popeye sits at the table.)

Hostess: So, what brings you here, you scurvy dog?

Popeye: Well, I'm here for lunch. But that's not the main reason why I'm here. I'm looking for my parents. That's the main reason why I'm here.

Hostess: Sure. Take all the time you need. In the meantime, a waiter should be here to take your order. Enjoy your lunch, matey.

(The hostess walks away. Then, a hefty man arrives and walks towards Popeye. He sits at his table.)

Man: Good afternoon, sir. May I please talk to you for a moment?

Popeye: Huh? Who are you?

Man: Allow me to introduce myself. I am J. Wellington Wimpy, and I love hamburgers. What is your name, sir?

Popeye: Popeye. It's a pleasure to meet you, Wimpy.

Wimpy: The pleasure is all mine, Popeye.

Popeye: Are you here to eat as well?

Wimpy: Why, yes. I'm here to have a hamburger for lunch. Do you happen to have any spare change? I promise I'll pay you back Tuesday.

(Popeye takes out a $20 bill and gives it to Wimpy.)

Wimpy: Thank you, sir. I'm going to enjoy this delicious hamburger. I hope you enjoy your meal as well, Popeye.

Popeye: Thanks.

(A waiter walks by, holding a platter of lobster. Eugene the Jeep smells the lobster and flies towards it. But Popeye grabs him by the tail. He growls at him and disappears. He reappears on his head with a lobster leg. He eats it and disguises himself again as a coonskin cap. Another waiter walks by, and Popeye talks to him.)

Popeye: Um, excuse me. I was wondering if you've seen an island with a shipwreck shaped like a shark.

Waiter #1: Argh, you mean that souvenir shop, Shipwreck Sally's, by the 7-Eleven. Argh.

(The first waiter walks away, and a second waiter walks by. Popeye talks to him.)

Popeye: Excuse me. Have you seen an island with a shipwreck shaped like a shark?

Waiter #2: Argh! You mean the video arcade, Shark Alley, by the McDonald's. Argh.

(The second waiter walks away. Popeye gets angry.)

Popeye: Does anyone know anything about an island with a shipwreck shaped like a shark?!

Wimpy: Do you mean Plunder Island?

Popeye: You know that place?

Wimpy: Why, yes, I do. It's a small dangerous island far away from the mainland. That's the place you're looking for, but maybe not the place you want to find.

Popeye: I know that sounds like the place. So, is this Plunder Island far?

Wimpy: I'm afraid so. It's not far enough for most. But I can tell you that you won't find any pirated treasure there. You'll have to search for that yourself.

(A little boy appears and walks towards Popeye and Wimpy.)

Boy: Um, excuse me. Where's the little sailors' room?

Wimpy: I'm sorry, little boy, but I don't work here.

Boy: Oh. Okay. (walks away)

Popeye: You were saying Plunder Island is not far enough for most. How many days of sailing is that?

Wimpy: I don't know. It depends on how good a captain you are.

Popeye: Well, I can be a good captain.

Wimpy: Well, in that case, there are not enough days of sailing for some. Plunder Island is the home of the Sea Hag.

(Popeye and Wimpy see a man dressed in a lobster costume. He's singing the birthday song to a boy.)

Man in a Lobster Costume: (singing) ♪ Happy birthday to you! / Happy birthday to you! / Happy birthday, dear Zachary! / Happy birthday to you! ♪

(Popeye and Wimpy look away and continue talking.)

Wimpy: Anyway, the Sea Hag lives on Plunder Island and is the most wicked creature to ever set sail upon these seas. She destroys everything she touches.

(A waitress appears and walks towards Popeye and Wimpy.)

Waitress: Good afternoon, gentlemen. I'm Emily, and I'll be your waiter for today. May I please take your order?

Popeye: I'll have fish and chips, please.

Wimpy: And for me, a hamburger.

Emily: I'll get your food out right away.

(Emily goes downstairs to get their food. She returns to their table with the food.)

Emily: Here you go, gentlemen. (gives Popeye and Wimpy their food) Enjoy your lunch.

(Emily walks away, and Popeye and Wimpy start eating. Popeye eats his fish and chips while Wimpy eats his hamburger.)

Wimpy: As I was saying, the Sea Hag destroys everything she touches.

(Wimpy opens a packet of ketchup and squeezes some into his hamburger. Eugene the Jeep, still disguised as a coonskin cap, gets frightened.)

Wimpy: Your hat seems to be quivering, Popeye.

Popeye: (calms down Eugene the Jeep) Easy there, little guy. Hmm. That sounds pretty scary and awful, but that's where I have to go. How do I get there?

Wimpy: Well, there's only one way to get to Plunder Island. You need a ship.

Popeye: A ship?

Wimpy: Of course.

Popeye: Well, Wimpy, I happen to have a ship.

Wimpy: Is that so?

Popeye: Yes, it is so. I'll show you what it looks like after we finish eating.

Wimpy: Well, let's have another round of food.

(Emily arrives with another tray of food for Popeye and Wimpy.)

Emily: Here's another tray of food for you boys. Enjoy.

(Emily winks at Popeye and Wimpy and walks away. Popeye eats his fish and chips while Wimpy eats his hamburger. At last, they finish their lunch.)

Popeye: Well, now that lunch is over, I'll take you to my boat.

(Emily arrives with a bill.)

Emily: That'll be $65.36, please.

Wimpy: Don't worry, Popeye. I'll pay for the meal for you. (gives Emily a $100 bill) Keep the change.

(Popeye and Wimpy pay the bill and get up from the table. The two of them follow Emily downstairs. She leads them out the front door of the restaurant.)

Emily: Thank you! Come again!

(Emily gets back inside the restaurant and closes the door.)

Popeye: Come with me, Wimpy. I'll show you my boat.

(Popeye leads Wimpy to his boat at the dock. There, he shows it to him.)

Popeye: It's called the Spinacher. I'm going to use it to sail to Plunder Island to find my parents.

Wimpy: I see.

Popeye: Okay, so, I'm a captain, and I have a boat. Now, can you tell me how to get to Plunder Island?

Wimpy: I guess so.

(Popeye leads Wimpy into his cabin on his ship. He takes out a map. It shows how far Plunder Island is from Sea Haven.)

Wimpy: (points to an illustration of Sea Haven on the map) Here's Sea Haven... (points to an illustration of Plunder Island on the map) and here's Plunder Island. To get there from Sea Haven, you must head west to an island called Mosquito Island. That's where you'll find a mosquito civilization, a city inhabited by civilized mosquitoes.

Popeye: Okay.

Wimpy: From there, you'll need to sail north and look up to the clouds. Up there, you will find an island in the sky. It's called Sky Island. It's an island on a lake at the top of a large mountain above the clouds. The mountain that Sky Island is on is located on a large island called Green Rock Island. Now, there are some treacherous things in the clouds. So, beware. And if you make it past, you'll wish you hadn't. From there, you will head into the Heart of Darkness.

Popeye: And that's where Plunder Island is?

Wimpy: Yes.

Popeye: (studies the map) Okay. I guess I have some directions to follow.

Wimpy: Plunder Island lies beyond the Heart of Darkness, but no one has made it there and lived to tell the tale.

Popeye: Well, Wimpy, my parents made it, and I will too! Thank you for giving me the directions, by the way.

Wimpy: You're welcome, Popeye. Well, I must leave now. Have a good day, sir.

Popeye: Bye, Wimpy.

(Wimpy leaves Popeye's ship and walks away from the dock. Eugene the Jeep reveals himself.)

Popeye: Well, Eugene, now we know where my parents are and how to get there. Tomorrow, we're setting sail to Plunder Island. But first, we have to go to the store and buy some food for our voyage. Come on!

(Popeye and Eugene the Jeep leave his ship and go back to the town of Sea Haven.)

Part 8: Popeye Talks to Bluto/Popeye Gets Ready for Bed/Bluto Steals Popeye's Ruby
(The scene cuts to Bluto walking away from the Oyl Mansion on the hill. He's crying because he failed to propose to Olive Oyl.)

Bluto: I blew it! I blew it! I've got to figure out a way to give Olive a ring worthy of her fortune. What a honking big ring!

(Bluto looks at his reflection in the window of a skate shop.)

Bluto: I'm just a loser!

(Bluto bangs his head on the window. Then, he rubs his face on it. Before he continues to weep, however, he sees Popeye walking towards him. Bluto collects himself, leans against the wall, and laughs.)

Bluto: I was just talking about losers. And look what appears! The world's oldest orphan.

Popeye: Hello, Bluto.

Bluto: Still not adopted, eh, Popeye?

Popeye: Nope.

Bluto: Too bad. So, are you going to finally tell me what you're doing in this town?

Popeye: Yep.

Bluto: So, what are you doing here?

Popeye: I'm going to sail away to a place called Plunder Island. And for your information, Bluto, I don't need to be adopted anymore because I found my parents. My biological parents.

(Popeye snaps his fingers. Bluto throws his hands up into the air.)

Bluto: What?!

Popeye: That's right! I found my biological parents right here.

(Popeye takes out his ruby and shows it to Bluto.)

Popeye: Like a message in a bottle, this little gem washed ashore and told me everything I needed to know. My mom and dad are out there, and I'm gonna find them, and my life will be perfect.

(Popeye puts his ruby away in his pocket and walks away from Bluto. He sees the ruby in Popeye's pocket.)

Bluto: Wow! This honking big jewel will be perfect for a honking big ring!

(So, Bluto sneakily follows Popeye. He knows that he has the ruby. He follows him to a grocery store. The scene cuts to Popeye inside the store. He's buying the food he needs for his voyage. The scene then cuts to an exterior shot of the store. Bluto follows Popeye out of the store as he carries his groceries to his ship. But then, he's stopped by Eugene the Jeep. He slaps him in the face. Eugene the Jeep leaves Bluto alone and follows Popeye to his ship.)

(The scene fades to an exterior shot of Popeye's ship. The scene then cuts to Popeye and Eugene the Jeep in the bathroom. They're brushing their teeth. When they're done, they put their toothbrushes away. Popeye turns on the faucet and washes his hands. He grabs a bar of soap and scrubs some on his hands. Then, he rinses his hands and washes his face. When he's done, he dries his hands and his face with a towel. Then, he looks at himself in the mirror.)

(Eugene the Jeep hands Popeye his comb, and he combs his hair. But then, a single strand of his hair springs up. Popeye combs his hair again, but the single hair springs back up. He combs his hair for the third time. But then, it springs up and becomes messy. He sighs. Eugene the Jeep turns on a hair dryer and uses it to dry his yellow fur. Popeye looks at his hair in the mirror. It is still messy.)

Popeye: Do you think they'll like me? My parents. Do you think, when we find them, they'll like me?

Eugene the Jeep: Jeep jeep. Jeep, jeep jeep jeep.

Subtitle: I hope so, Popeye. I mean, I think so.

(Eugene the Jeep hops onto Popeye's chest, grabs him by the cheeks, and looks at him.)

Eugene the Jeep: Jeep, jeep jeep.

Subtitle: I mean, I like you just as much as they like you.

(Eugene the Jeep rubs Popeye's cheeks. Then, he kisses them several times. Popeye laughs as he has his cheeks kissed.)

Popeye: Thank you, Jeep. I know you like me. But you're supposed to like me. You're like a dog.

(Eugene the Jeep growls at Popeye. He doesn't like being called a dog.)

Popeye: I mean, you're a Jeep!

(Eugene the Jeep calms down and smiles at Popeye.)

Popeye: You're a Jeep. You're a cute little Jeep, and I'm your master. (rubs Eugene the Jeep's chin) But... it's been so long. (looks at himself in the mirror) What if my mom and dad aren't glad to see me? What if they don't like me? What if they're expecting someone else? Someone who is special or one of a kind. What will I do then?

(Eugene the Jeep hugs Popeye and comforts him. He looks at him. He combs his hair. He then adds some finishing touches to it. Eugene the Jeep shows Popeye the reflection of themselves in the mirror. Popeye looks at his hair. It's combed. He looks at his face. He's still one-eyed. He looks at his outfit. It's neat and clean.)

Popeye: Hey, you're right. I am pretty irresistible.

(Popeye and Eugene the Jeep laugh. The two of them then hug. They leave the bathroom and go to his room. Popeye climbs into his hammock and lays down. He takes out a wooden box, opens it, and looks at the ruby inside it.)

Popeye: Good night, my little ruby. Tomorrow, we're gonna set sail to find my parents.

(Popeye closes the wooden box and puts it away. Then, he goes to sleep. Eugene the Jeep appears and sleeps on his belly. The camera pans to Popeye's alarm clock on his nightstand. The scene fades to the same clock on the nightstand a few hours later. The time on the clock has changed. The scene cuts to Popeye and Eugene the Jeep sleeping in his hammock. The scene then cuts to a full shot of Sea Haven Harbor. Bluto appears and sneaks into the harbor. There, he boards Popeye's ship and sneaks into his cabin through a trapdoor. He tiptoes towards him. But with every step, he makes the wooden floor creak. Bluto checks to make sure Popeye is asleep. He sighs in relief and continues to tiptoe towards him. As he does so, he makes the wooden floor creak. Finally, Bluto looks down and sees the wooden box underneath Popeye's hammock. So, he crouches down and grabs the wooden box. He opens it and looks at the ruby inside. Bluto gets the ruby out of the box and puts it in his pocket. Then, he puts the box back underneath Popeye's hammock and tries to walk away. Unfortunately, Bluto steps on the wooden floor again, making it creak. The noise he makes wakes Popeye up. He yawns and stretches his arms. Then, he sees Bluto in his cabin.)

Popeye: What? What are you doing here?

(But then, Popeye sees his ruby in Bluto's pocket and gasps. Then, he gets angry.)

Popeye: Are you trying to steal my ruby? My beautiful ruby?

Bluto: (looks at Popeye nervously) I'm sorry, Popeye. I didn't know it was your ruby. I thought it was mine.

Popeye: You are trying to steal it! I knew it! Give it back to me! Now!

Bluto: Never! Your ruby is in my pocket. So, it's mine now, and you can't have it back.

Popeye: Oh, yeah? I'm gonna make you give it back to me.

Bluto: So, you want a fight, eh? Okay, then. You asked for it.

(So, Popeye and Bluto begin fighting with their fists. They both punch and kick. But Bluto has the upper hand and knocks Popeye out. He then leaves his ship with his ruby and runs out of the harbor. The camera pans up to the moon in the starry night sky.)

Part 9: Finding the Ruby/Chasing the Sleepwalking Olive Oyl/Running Away from the Angry Mob
(The scene fades to the ocean at dawn. The sun appears on the horizon and rises above it. The scene cuts to an exterior shot of Popeye's ship at the Sea Haven Harbor. The scene then cuts to Eugene the Jeep in his cabin. He's sleeping in his hammock. He wakes up and sees Popeye knocked out on the floor. So, he jumps out of his hammock and wakes him up.)

Eugene the Jeep: Jeep jeep?

Subtitle: Did you fall asleep?

(Popeye rubs his eyes and sees Eugene the Jeep.)

Popeye: Yeah, I think I did.

(Eugene the Jeep disappears for a moment. Then, he reappears with a newspaper in his hand. He hands it to Popeye. He looks at the newspaper and reads it.)

Popeye: (reading the newspaper) "Bluto proposes to Olive Oyl. He gets it right with a honking big jewel!?!"

(Popeye finds out that Bluto has stolen his ruby and made it into an engagement ring. He also finds out that he used the ring with the ruby to propose to Olive Oyl.)

Popeye: My jewel! Bluto must have stolen it, made it into an engagement ring, and used it to propose to someone... a woman... like Olive Oyl.

(Popeye looks up to the Oyl Mansion on the hill in Sea Haven. The camera zooms in through the window to the town of Sea Haven. It then pans up to the Oyl Mansion on the hill. The scene cuts to Olive Oyl in her room. She's looking down at the harbor from the windows. The scene cuts to Popeye's ship at the harbor. Popeye appears as he leaves his cabin through the trapdoor. He gets off his ship and leaves the harbor as he goes to the town of Sea Haven.)

Popeye: I can't believe Bluto took my jewel and gave it to Olive Oyl. When I get my hands on that brute, I'm gonna defeat him once and for all.

(Popeye arrives at the bottom of the hill. Then, he looks up at the Oyl Mansion at the top of the hill. So, he starts climbing up the hill.)

Popeye: Oh, boy. When they say "house on the hill", they ain't kidding! This is a big hill! I should have taken a taxi. Well, they don't make that hill high enough to keep me from my jewel because that's how I'm getting to my parents.

(It takes Popeye several hours to reach the top of the hill. When he does, he looks at the Oyl Mansion. Then, he looks at his watch. It's now nighttime.)

Popeye: This must be where my ruby is.

(Popeye walks towards the front door to the Oyl Mansion and knocks on it. The door opens, revealing Nana Oyl and Cole Oyl, Olive Oyl's parents.)

Popeye: Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Oyl. My name is Popeye. I'm here for my ruby.

Nana Oyl: So, you're Popeye. We remember you. You're the world's oldest orphan. Come right in.

(Popeye steps inside the Oyl Mansion. Nana Oyl and Cole Oyl lead Popeye to the living room.)

Cole Oyl: Have a seat.

(Popeye sits on the couch.)

Cole Oyl: So, what brings you here, Mr. Popeye?

Popeye: I'm here to get my ruby. You see, Bluto sneaked into my ship and stole it from me. Then, he made it into an engagement ring and used it to propose to your daughter, Olive Oyl. Have you seen it?

(Popeye pulls the crumpled-up newspaper with the text "Bluto proposes to Olive Oyl" on the front page out of his pocket and hands it to Nana Oyl and Cole Oyl. They look at the newspaper. Then, they look at him.)

Cole Oyl: So, you think Bluto stole your ruby?

Popeye: I know he stole it!

Nana Oyl: You're absolutely sure?

Popeye: Of course, I'm sure.

Nana Oyl: Well, here's the thing, Popeye. Olive Oyl, our daughter, has the ring with your ruby on it. But don't worry. She'll give it back to you tomorrow.

Popeye: But...

Cole Oyl: No buts. It's time for you to go now. Get some rest. Good night, Popeye.

Popeye: Good night, Mr. and Mrs. Oyl.

(Popeye leaves the Oyl Mansion through the front door. Then, he looks up at one of the windows of the house.)

Popeye: Well, I guess it's not stealing if it's already mine.

(So, Popeye climbs up the wall and enters Olive Oyl's room through the window. There, he sees her sleeping in her bed. On her finger is her engagement ring with his ruby on it.)

Popeye: Gee, I'll just take a quick look at her finger to make sure it's really her ring.

(Popeye walks over to the bedside table. He gets close to Olive Oyl in her bed and looks down at her hand. He sees her ring on her finger. It has his ruby on it.)

Popeye: Okay. Here we go.

(Popeye tries to slide the ring off of Olive Oyl's finger. But then, she sits up and gets out of her bed. She leaves her room while asleep. She's sleepwalking.)

Popeye: Hey, you! Get back here with my ruby!

(Popeye leaves Olive Oyl's room and runs after her in her sleepwalking state. She leaves the Oyl Mansion. He runs out of it and continues to run after her. He chases her down the hill to the town of Sea Haven.)

Popeye: My jewel! Ms. Oyl! Wait! Come back!

(As Popeye runs after Olive Oyl, he runs into a mailbox. Then, he runs into a lamppost. Then, he runs into a car. And then, he runs into a wall. When Popeye finally catches up to Olive Oyl, she's sleepwalking towards the train station. She jumps off the platform and walks on the rails. But then, he sees an oncoming train. It's about to run her over. So, Popeye takes out a can of spinach, opens it, and eats the spinach from the can. As a result, he gets stronger. He rushes towards Olive Oyl and saves her from the train.)

Popeye: I got you, Ms. Oyl. Don't leave me behind! Now, how do I get that ring off her finger?

(But then, Olive Oyl wakes up. She's not sleepwalking anymore.)

Olive Oyl: What? Where am I?

(Olive Oyl turns to see Popeye holding her.)

Olive Oyl: Oh, my goodness!

Popeye: Good morning, Ms. Oyl. My name is Popeye, and I'm just trying to get my jewel back.

(Olive Oyl looks down at her finger. Her ring is no longer there.)

Olive Oyl: My ring! I was sleepwalking, and my ring fell off my finger!

Popeye: I saw you fall off the train platform, and I caught you.

(But then, Olive Oyl sees her ring on Popeye's finger. She screams and hits him on the head with her fists.)

Olive Oyl: Thief! You horrible, horrible man! Ring snatcher! Jewel stealer!

(Olive Oyl's screaming wakes up the entire village of Sea Haven. People run from their homes and gather outside. They see Popeye holding Olive Oyl.)

Man #1: There he is!

Woman #1: Thief!

Woman #2: Catch him!

Man #2: Shame on you, Popeye! For shame!

Man #3: Arrest him!

Popeye: Uh oh! I've got to get out of here!

(Popeye runs away from the angry mob, taking Olive Oyl and her ring with him.)

Olive Oyl: Get your hands off me, you brute! What are you trying to do now? Kidnap me? That's uncivilized of you, you know. Help!

(The scene cuts to Bluto in the bathroom in his house. He's getting ready to meet Olive Oyl when he looks out the window and sees Popeye running past him. He sees him holding her while running away from the angry mob.)

Bluto: My fiancée! My finance!

(The scene cuts back to Popeye running away from the angry mob while carrying Olive Oyl and her ring.)

Olive Oyl: Bluto, save me!

(Bluto runs out of his house and joins the angry mob as they chase Popeye to the Sea Haven Harbor.)

Man #1: Stop, thief! That's Bluto's girl!

(The scene cuts to Judy outside the orphanage. She's supervising the orphaned children as they play at the playground. But then, she sees Popeye running away from the angry mob while carrying Olive Oyl and her ring.)

Judy: Popeye? Popeye, wait! I'm sure there's some misunderstanding!

(Judy runs after Popeye. He continues running away from the angry mob while carrying Olive Oyl and her ring. As he enters the harbor, he sees Eugene the Jeep on his boat.)

Popeye: Jeep! JEEP! Start the engines! START THE ENGINES!

(Eugene the Jeep sees the angry mob behind Popeye. He teleports himself to the helm of his ship. He pushes the "ENGINE START" button, starting the boat's engines. Popeye climbs on board the boat, bringing Olive Oyl and her ring on board as well. Judy runs through the angry mob and climbs on board the ship as well. Popeye climbs up to the helm of his ship and sits in his driver's seat.)

Olive Oyl: Time to go!

(Olive Oyl tries to get off Popeye's ship, but he pulls the lever, activating the mechanical legs. The legs appear on both sides of the ship. The ship stands up tall, preventing Olive Oyl from getting off it. She stumbles backwards and hits her head with a pole, knocking her out. The boat jumps into the water and sails away from Sea Haven. Popeye looks back at the town.)

Popeye: Well, I guess we can't go back there ever again.

Eugene the Jeep: Jeep jeep jeep. Jeep jeep jeep?

Subtitle: I agree. But where will you live now?

Popeye: Don't worry, Jeep. (pats Eugene the Jeep's head) When we find my parents, they'll find us a new home.

Eugene the Jeep: Jeep?

Subtitle: Really?

Popeye: Yep. It will be smooth sailing from here on in. Next stop, Plunder Island!

(The camera zooms out and pans to the back of Popeye's ship as he starts sailing to Plunder Island. Soon, Lenny appears on the surface of the ocean.)

Lenny: Plunder Island!?!

(Lenny sees Popeye's ship heading to Plunder Island. He then looks at the camera.)

Lenny: Why does everybody always want to go to Plunder Island?

(Coral appears on the surface of the ocean and swims over to Lenny.)

Coral: Actually, Popeye is the only one who's going to Plunder Island. (looks at the camera) Now, let's check on someone else who's been busy.

(The scene cuts to a hand-drawn animated map sequence. On the map is an illustration of Plunder Island. Then, a hand-drawn animated ship appears on the map. It sails to Cheer Island, then to Lala Island, then to Happyland, Quaint Island, Half Moon Bay, Staryville Island, Really Nice Island, JuJuBean Beach, and then Margaritaville. Every time the ship stops at an island, it gets destroyed. Finally, the ship stops at Sea Haven.)

Coral: (off-screen) Meanwhile, the Sea Hag was still in a terrible tizzy. She scoured the land in search of the ruby but came up with nothing, and that made her cruel.

(A hand-drawn animated shadow of the Sea Hag appears on the map. She gets older, weaker, and uglier.)

Coral: (off-screen) Without the jewel, her powers become weak. If she doesn't find it soon, her outlook is bleak. She may never get her magic back. And when she loses all of it, she will go extinct.

(The camera zooms in on the illustration of Sea Haven on the map.)

Part 10: Bluto Meets the Sea Hag/Sailing Through the Stormy Seas
(The scene switches back to CGI as it cuts to a close-up shot of a drum being played by a drummer, then to a close-up shot of the "Sea Haven Harbor" sign, then to a full shot of the town's residents gathering outside the harbor. Bluto appears and walks to the center of the stage.)

Bluto: I'm off to get Olive Oyl back!

(The townspeople cheer for Bluto. Nana Oyl and Cole Oyl show up in their car, a white Cadillac CT5. They get out of their car and walk towards Bluto.)

Nana Oyl: Go on, Bluto. You bring our Olive back to us.

Cole Oyl: Her future and happiness are in your hands, Bluto.

Bluto: Don't you worry there, Mr. and Mrs. Oyl. I'll bring your daughter back.

(Bluto gets onto his boat and turns to all the residents of Sea Haven.)

Bluto: And now, none of you worry. You mustn't worry, folks. I will bring back Olive Oyl.

(The townspeople cheer for Bluto again.)

Bluto: And I'll give that outcast Popeye an epic beating! When I find him, I'm gonna grab him like this!

(Bluto grabs a pelican by the neck.)

Bluto: And then, I'll beat him up like so!

(Bluto beats up the pelican with his fists. The pelican dies.)

Bluto: I'll make him cry like a little baby!

(The residents of Sea Haven cheer for Bluto. He starts the engine and sails away. He turns around and waves goodbye to the townspeople. He then salutes, turns away, and sails off to find Olive Oyl. But then, Bluto sees fog approaching. He sails into it. He looks around but finds nothing suspicious. But then, he sees three ships sailing towards him. The ships themselves look like they're made in the 18th century. One of them is a tall ship with three masts. Another is a large frigate. The last one is a small schooner. A plank appears from the middle ship, and its end lands on the front of Bluto's small boat. Two of the sea witch's minions walk on the plank to the small boat, grab Bluto, and take him to the large ship. There, they take him to the sea witch herself in her quarters.)

Bluto: Agh! Please don't hurt me! Please don't hurt me! Please don't hurt me! I'll do anything you ask!

The Sea Hag: I am looking for a glorious crimson jewel. It's a magical ruby, and it's in the possession of a one-eyed baby. Now, you big fool, if you tell me, I might spare your miserable life!

Bluto: Huh? Oh, yes, sure. The one-eyed baby is now a man. He's stolen my fiancée, Olive Oyl. She's a stick-like girl who lives with her parents in a mansion on a hill in the town of Sea Haven. She wears a ring on her finger, and it has a ruby on it. They left a little while ago in this direction. (points to where Popeye is going) If you hurry, I'm sure you can catch up to them.

(Bluto gets down on his knees and kisses the sea witch's feet.)

Bluto: Please, don't kill me, ma'am. I'll do anything to get Olive Oyl back.

The Sea Hag: Anything?

Bluto: Yes, ma'am. Anything at all.

The Sea Hag: Very well. I believe you. Now, get out of my sight. Don't let me see you again, or I'll have no choice but to kill you.

(The sea witch coughs and gets down on the floor. Bluto notices she's weakening. So, he decides to take her out when she's the most vulnerable. He leaves the sea witch's quarters and sees all of her minions.)

Bluto: Okay, gentlemen. We must find Popeye and Olive Oyl. They're heading straight to Plunder Island. Bring Olive to me with the ruby, and I'll get rid of Popeye.

The Sea Hag's Minions: Yes, sir.

(As the sea witch's minions get to work, Bluto enters her quarters. He turns his attention to the sea witch herself.)

Bluto: Okay, listen here, you old hag. I'm running this ship, and you'll obey my every command. I'm going to give you the ruby, bring Olive Oyl back home to Sea Haven, and get rid of Popeye. Do you understand?

The Sea Hag: Yes, Bluto. I'll do as you say.

Bluto: Good. Plunder Island, here we come!

(The scene fades to a hand-drawn animated map sequence. Popeye's ship sails away from Sea Haven and heads to its first stop: Mosquito Island. The scene switches back to CGI as it fades to Popeye's ship on the ocean. The scene cuts to Olive Oyl sleeping on the deck. She wakes up and sits up.)

Olive Oyl: Oh, Mommy. Oh, it was horrible. I dreamt that I was stolen by a one-eyed thief.

(But then, Olive Oyl sees Judy on the deck. Then, she sees Popeye steering the ship.)

Popeye: Hello, Ms. Oyl. I think we're almost there.

Olive Oyl: Huh? Where am I?

Popeye: You're aboard my ship, the Spinacher. But Ms. Judy, what are you doing here?

Judy: I saw you running away from an angry mob. So, I had to board your ship and help you escape from Sea Haven.

Popeye: But this is a very dangerous place to be. The sea is full of dangers. You should have stayed in Sea Haven. But you helped me escape. Thank you, Ms. Judy.

Judy: Always glad to help, Popeye.

(Soon, Popeye, Eugene the Jeep, Judy, and Olive Oyl see a big storm approaching.)

Popeye: Hold on tight, everyone! It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

(Rain comes pouring down, lightning strikes the seas, and thunder causes the waves to get stormy. Judy hides below deck in the cargo hold. Olive Oyl, however, stays on deck and screams in terror. The camera zooms out to reveal Popeye's ship on the ocean during a huge storm. The scene cuts back to Olive Oyl on the ship. She holds on tight to a pole. The scene cuts to Popeye and Eugene the Jeep at the ship's helm.)

Popeye: Jeep! We have to keep heading west!

(The scene cuts to Popeye's ship sailing on the stormy ocean, then to the needles on the dashboard spinning out of control, and then back to Popeye and Eugene the Jeep.)

Popeye: But which way is west?

(Eugene the Jeep turns himself into a weather vane and points towards the west.)

Popeye: Oh! I got me a Jeep-P-S.

(So, Popeye turns the ship around and heads towards the west. But then, it jumps off a large wave.)

Popeye: Whoa! Uh oh! Jeep, take the wheel!

Eugene the Jeep: Jeep jeep, jeep jeep!

Subtitle: Aye, aye, Captain!

(Eugene the Jeep takes the wheel while Popeye flies towards the rope. He unreels it, releasing a large umbrella. It slows down the boat's fall like a parachute. He catches the umbrella with the rope, and the umbrella opens. When the boat lands on the water, Popeye, Eugene the Jeep, and Olive Oyl get soaked. Olive Oyl gets seasick due to the boat's sudden movement. So, she goes to the side of the boat, leans over, and throws up.)

Popeye: Excuse me, Ms. Oyl.

(Popeye walks past Olive Oyl and climbs back up to the ship's helm. Eugene the Jeep points at a huge wave.)

Popeye: I see it. I see it.

(Popeye pulls the lever, activating the boat's mechanical arms and legs. They appear on both sides of the ship. The boat's left arm transforms into a pair of scissors and cuts a hole in the wave, allowing the ship to swim through it.)

Popeye: Wow! That was awesome!

(Popeye sails through the turbulent waters and emerges unscathed. He continues sailing west. The next wave, however, is even bigger than the first one. Popeye pulls the lever again, activating the boat's mechanical arms and legs. They appear on both sides of the ship. The left arm cuts a hole in the wave, allowing the boat to swim through it. Olive Oyl falls onto the floor and gets soaked by a big wave. Now, the ship has a lot of water on it thanks to the stormy waves. Popeye dives into the water and holds his breath. He pulls the lever, causing the boat to turn upside down, dumping out the water. Then, it turns right side up, gets back onto the ocean, and continues sailing west. But then, the boat jumps off an even bigger wave. While it's high up in the air, a lightning bolt strikes it, setting part of it on fire.)

Popeye: That's not good.

(The boat falls into the water, putting out the fire. Popeye holds his breath while his boat is underwater. The waves are rough and unruly. Soon, the ship rises to the surface and continues sailing. Meanwhile, Olive Oyl is panicking on deck.)

Olive Oyl: Mommy, I want my old life BACK!

(The camera zooms out to the ship as it continues heading west through the stormy seas. The scene cuts to black.)

Part 11: Popeye Talks to Olive Oyl/Sailing to Mosquito Island
(The scene fades to the clouds in the sky. They break up, revealing the sun. The scene cuts to an extreme wide shot of Popeye's ship on the ocean. The storm is over. The sky becomes clear again, and the sea becomes calm again. The scene cuts to Olive Oyl on the ship. She gets up and leans against the pole.)

Olive Oyl: Huh? What? What happened?

(Popeye climbs down the ladder and talks to Olive Oyl.)

Popeye: Um, Ms. Oyl, are you alright?

(But then, Popeye sees that Olive Oyl is seasick. She vomits over the deck.)

Olive Oyl: Whoa, that was nasty.

Popeye: Okay, then. I'll clean up the mess. I'll talk to you later.

(So, Popeye goes below deck to the cargo hold. He grabs a mop and a bucket and goes above deck. He fills up the bucket with some water from the ocean. Then, he dips the mop into the bucket and mops off the vomit on the floor. The scene cuts to Judy in the cargo hold. She sees Popeye coming below deck.)

Popeye: Pardon me, Ms. Judy.

(Popeye mops the entire cargo hold. When he's done, he and Judy look at it.)

Popeye: It's all clean. Are you alright, Ms. Judy?

Judy: Yes, I'm fine.

Popeye: Okay. We should continue sailing west. Enjoy the rest of the voyage, Ms. Judy.

Judy: Thanks, Popeye.

(Popeye goes above deck and sees Olive Oyl.)

Popeye: Are you okay now, Ms. Oyl?

Olive Oyl: Yeah, I'm fine.

Popeye: I cleaned up your vomit.

Olive Oyl: Oh, that was nice of you, Captain.

Popeye: Oh, please. You can call me Popeye.

Olive Oyl: Okay, Popeye.

Popeye: Look, if I can just get my jewel, I can drop you off at the next port. Then, everything can get back to normal for you. What do you say?

Olive Oyl: What?! Oh no! Stay away from me, thief. It's my jewel. Bluto gave it to me. Yeah. Bluto! And I'm gonna marry him! And we're gonna have three beautiful hairy children, and I'm going to live on Sea Haven forever! I'm Olive Oyl, the girl from the house on the hill. I know who I am! And whoever I am right now is not me!

Popeye: Whoa. It looks like you took a big hit to your noggin there, Ms. Oyl. Because I have no clue to what you're talking about. Do you, Jeep?

(Eugene the Jeep appears from nowhere and sees Olive Oyl. Then, he floats around in the air as if he's swimming.)

Olive Oyl: Wah! What the heck is that thing?

Popeye: Oh, uh, that's a Jeep.

Olive Oyl: What's a Jeep?

Popeye: (points to Eugene the Jeep) Well, this is a Jeep. A Jeep is a yellow creature about the size of a dog. It has a bear-like head and ears but a large nose, long tail, and protruding belly.

Olive Oyl: Is it friendly?

Popeye: This one? Of course. In fact, all Jeeps are friendly creatures.

Olive Oyl: Tell me more about Jeeps.

Popeye: Well, they walk on their hind legs. In other words, they're bipedal like us humans. Like most animals and unlike humans, Jeeps don't talk. When they do, they only say one word... "jeep". Instead, they primarily communicate through body language. Jeeps are honest creatures, and they tell the truth, even to criminals. They're highly intelligent and can help anyone solve complex problems. They can teleport from one place to another and walk through and on walls and ceilings. These creatures live in a three-dimensional world... in this case, our world. But they're actually from the fourth dimension. Here's what happened. Several Jeep life cells were somehow forced through the dimensional barrier into our world. They combined at a favorable time with free life cells of the African Hooey Hound. The electrical vibrations of the Hooey Hound cell and the foreign cell were the same. They were kindred cells. In fact, all things are, to some extent, relative, whether they be of this or some other world, now you see. The extremely favorable conditions of germination in Africa caused a fusion of these life cells. So, the uniting of kindred cells caused a transmutation. The result is a mysterious strange animal like this one. His name is Eugene the Jeep. He's my pet Jeep and my best friend.

Olive Oyl: Well, I think I'm going to like it here on this ship. It seems nice. I don't think I'll be afraid anymore.

Popeye: Good. Look. That jewel on that ring you're wearing. It's a magical ruby. That jewel is mine, and all I want is what's mine, and that's as fair as fair can be.

Olive Oyl: Ha! Yeah, right. You expect me to believe that someone like you can even have a jewel like this?

Popeye: Someone like me? Someone like me? Sure. I was found in a spinach crate, and I grew up as an orphan. But this jewel was given to me by someone that doesn't care about any of that... my mother and father! Hmph!

(Popeye and Eugene the Jeep walk away from Olive Oyl. Eugene the Jeep snaps his fingers and disappears. Olive Oyl watches Popeye and Eugene the Jeep leave. Then, she looks at the ruby on her ring. She looks at Popeye again, but he's already gone. The scene cuts to Popeye walking to the ship's bow with Eugene the Jeep following him.)

Popeye: Pfft! Olive Oyl, the rich girl who lives with her rich parents in a mansion on a hill. She thinks she's so above everyone else. Oh. Well, technically, she is above everybody considering she lives on a hill... but not metaphorically!

(Popeye laughs at his own joke. Eugene the Jeep is quiet. He doesn't say anything. Eugene the Jeep just looks at Popeye, and Popeye looks at Eugene the Jeep. There's a moment of silence. Finally, Eugene the Jeep breaks the silence.)

Eugene the Jeep: Jeep jeep. Jeep jeep jeep.

Subtitle: Don't think about her. Focus on the navigation.

Popeye: You're right. I need to focus.

(Popeye goes to the table and places the map on it. He opens the map, looks at it, and studies it.)

Popeye: Now, how are we going to find Mosquito Island?

(Popeye can't see Mosquito Island anywhere. All he sees is the ocean.)

Popeye: I don't see anything. But as long as we keep sailing west, we're heading in the right direction.

Eugene the Jeep: Jeep jeep.

Subtitle: I think so, too.

Popeye: Well, keep your eyes open. Maybe we'll see it soon.

Eugene the Jeep: Jeep. Jeep.

Subtitle: Yeah. Maybe.

(Popeye sits at the table and looks at the map. Suddenly, he sees something. It's a tiny little dot on the horizon.)

Popeye: Is that it?

(The tiny dot gets bigger as the boat gets closer to it. Soon, the dot turns out to be an island.)

Popeye: It is! That's Mosquito Island! We made it! Ha ha!

(So, Popeye climbs up to the helm of the ship and sails towards Mosquito Island.)

Part 12: Popeye at Mosquito Island
(The scene fades to Popeye's ship arriving at Mosquito Island. When it gets close to the shore, it stops sailing. Popeye, Eugene the Jeep, Olive Oyl, and Judy disembark his ship and enter the island. They walk to a clearing in the jungle. It's a tropical forest with trees as large as apartment buildings and plants that crawl up the trees. The sun is high in the sky. The air is warm. The forest is loud because of chirping birds, buzzing insects, and trickling water. The sweet smell of flowers and trees fills the air. Popeye feels great. He has a great time.)

Popeye: Oh! That's more like it!

(Popeye, Eugene the Jeep, Olive Oyl, and Judy look around the jungle. They see a clearing with a pool of water and a waterfall. Next to the pool is a gate. It's the front entrance to a city, a big city inhabited by a race of civilized mosquito humanoids. The city's architecture is magnificent, and its people are peaceful. Popeye can't wait to go in and explore it.)

Popeye: Well, this is it. Mosquitoville. Let's go.

Olive Oyl: Are you sure about this?

Popeye: Of course, I'm sure. We'll spend the night in a hotel there. (turns to Eugene the Jeep) Well, Eugene, I guess we'll have to find someone who knows where Plunder Island is. Let's enter the city.

(So, Popeye, Eugene the Jeep, Olive Oyl, and Judy enter the city of Mosquitoville. As they enter the city through the gate, it becomes much larger. The people become much more populous, and the architecture gets even more extravagant. Soon, they stop at the town square.)

Popeye: Now what?

(Eugene the Jeep pulls out a map and unfolds it on the ground. It's the map of Mosquitoville. He looks at it and studies it. He points to a local tavern.)

Popeye: Ms. Oyl, Ms. Judy, book us a room at a hotel. I'm going to get a drink at a tavern.

(While Olive Oyl and Judy go to a hotel to check in, Popeye and Eugene the Jeep go to a tavern to get a drink. The scene cuts to an interior shot of the tavern. A few mosquito humanoids are sitting at the bar, drinking alcohol. Soon, the door opens as Popeye and Eugene the Jeep enter the tavern. There, Popeye sits at the bar and studies the map.)

Popeye: Hmm, Plunder Island. I wonder where it could be.

Eugene the Jeep: Jeep jeep.

Subtitle: I don't know.

(Soon, a bartender arrives. She's a beautiful mosquito-humanoid woman.)

Female Mosquito Humanoid Bartender: What can I get you?

Popeye: I'll take a pint of beer.

(The mosquito humanoid bartender fills an empty glass with beer and serves it to Popeye.)

Female Mosquito Humanoid Bartender: Here you go, sir.

Popeye: Thanks.

(Popeye drinks his glass of beer and looks at the map.)

Popeye: Now, how do I get to Plunder Island from Mosquito Island?

(Eugene the Jeep points at the illustration of Mosquito Island on the map. Then, he points at the illustration of Sky Island on the map.)

Popeye: So, I have to get to Sky Island.

(Eugene the Jeep nods and points at the illustration of the Heart of Darkness on the map.)

Popeye: And then to the Heart of Darkness. And that's where Plunder Island is?

(Eugene the Jeep nods.)

Popeye: Well, then, this is a job for Popeye, the intrepid exploring sailor, and his trusty sidekick, Eugene the Jeep! Let's go!

Eugene the Jeep: Jeep jeep!

Subtitle: I'm ready!

(Popeye and Eugene the Jeep leave the tavern and catch up to Olive Oyl and Judy at the hotel. They all take the elevator to their floor. They get their bags from the bellhop and go to their hotel room.)

Popeye: Well, I'm exhausted. I'm going to go to bed.

Judy: Me too!

Olive Oyl: Me three!

Popeye: Tomorrow, we're leaving Mosquito Island. From there, we will sail to Sky Island, then to the Heart of Darkness. And then, we'll sail from there to Plunder Island so I can find my parents.

Olive Oyl: We know, Popeye. We know.

Popeye: Well, we've got to get some shuteye. Good night, Ms. Oyl and Ms. Judy.

Olive Oyl and Judy: Good night, Popeye.

(Olive Oyl and Judy get into their bed and sleep. Popeye gets into his bed and lays his head on the pillow. Eugene the Jeep appears and gets into Popeye's bed.)

Popeye: Good night, Eugene.

Eugene the Jeep: Jeep jeep, jeep jeep.

Subtitle: Good night, Popeye.

(Popeye and Eugene the Jeep close their eyes and sleep.)

More coming soon!
