Popeye is slowly being driven crazy by his 99-year-old Pappy's second childhood. The limit finally comes when, while desperately searching for his Pappy all over town, Popeye discovers that the old man has taken a flagpole-sitting job atop a towering skyscraper. His efforts to "rescue" his dear old dad nearly prove fatal to Popeye as Pappy sadistically continues to sabotage his son. Finally, a huge electrical storm (with the usual "humanized" lightning bolts) forces Pappy to realize that he's in the wrong line of work.
