Model "Cookie" Cooke (Ann Sothern) is urged by her unsatisfactorily married practical older sister Gwen (Helen Broderick) to find a wealthy husband. On a modeling assignment she runs into millionaire Dick Smith (Gene Raymond), but assumes him to be a low-earning male model. Dick falls in love with her, but she insists on dating eccentrically mannered Italian aristocrat Baron Enrico (Erik Rhodes). Dick installs another mannered character, his valet Philbean (Eric Blore) in the position of a casting agency president who would then pair Cookie on the same pre-arranged modeling jobs with Dick. Ultimately, Baron Enrico, who is so obsessed with birds that he cannot concentrate on romance long enough to propose, is goaded by Gwen into presenting Cookie with an engagement ring. Forced to act fast, Dick pretends to have attempted suicide by a gunshot to the head and asks Cookie to marry him on his deathbed, but she tastes the "ketchup blood" on his face and then embraces him.

Dans ce court métrage, Sindbad le marin se proclame « plus grand marin, aventurier et amant du monde ». Popeye le contredit par inadvertance, alors qu'il chante sa chanson habituelle en naviguant à portée de voix de l'île de Sindbad. Sindbad ordonne à son énorme rokh d'enlever la petite amie de Popeye, Olive Oyl, et détruit le vaisseau de Popeye, le forçant ainsi à nager jusqu'au rivage. Alors que Sinbad se délecte de faire d'Olive un trophée, il est interrompu par l'arrivée de Popeye, qu'il défie ensuite lors d'une série d'obstacles pour prouver sa grandeur. Popeye doit alors vaincre le rokh, un géant à deux têtes nommé Boola (une référence aux Trois Stooges) et, enfin, Sindbad lui-même. Grâce à sa fameuse boîte d'épinards, Popeye parviendra à vaincre Sindbad.
