Synopsis

Bluto is in the Army and tries to get past the guards, but can't. (He's trying to get out of tank squad guard duty.) Along comes Popeye. Bluto invites him into his tent and swaps uniforms with him. Of course, they fit badly. Bluto goes off to meet his "goil" Olive Oyl. Meanwhile, Popeye gets stuck on tank maneuvers and performs badly. He may be a great sailor, but he's not so much on land... until a little spinach. Then he's soon running on all cylinders. Popeye has enough and eventually outmaneuvers the other tanks to beat Bluto. He gets to Olive Oyl's house just in time to pull Bluto into the tank and swap uniforms back before the Army MPs arrive. Popeye and Olive Oyl then go off on their date.
