Synopsis by Hal Erickson
After a false start in 1937's Goonland, Popeye's 99-year-old father Poopdeck Pappy makes his "official" cartoon debut in this entry. Singing his signature tune, Pappy comes upon his son Popeye, who is busily building a boat. Despite his age and infirmities, Pappy grabs a hammer and saw and insists upon lending his son a helping hand. Alas, after a few hours the boat is in a shambles and Pappy is fast asleep--forcing Popeye to do some quick thinking to save his dear old dad from humiliation.
