Appalled that his four nephews prefer ice cream to spinach, Popeye tells the boys a story about their Great-Great-Great-Uncle Hercules. Known far and wide for his acts of kindess through strength, Hercules (a dead ringer for Popeye, of course) gets his muscle power by sniffing a piece of garlic. Enter an evil bully (Bluto with a Greek dialect), who challenges Herc to several feats of strength. Hercules prevails until the Bully "neutralizes" the garlic with a bottle of cholorphyl. THAT's when Herc finally stumbes upon spinach as a possible power source ("A strange weed this be!")
