Synopsis
Popeye and Olive are having a backyard cookout. Popeye's nephews are playing basketball, and their ball goes over the fence into Bluto's yard. Bluto is angry because Popeye didn't invite him to the cookout, and he doesn't want to return the ball. When Popeye goes to retrieve the ball, Bluto sicks his vicious bulldog on him. A bit later, Popeye's little spaceman friend comes to visit in his little spaceship. The little alien plays ball with the boys, and the ball goes over the fence again. Popeye's spaceman friend goes over the fence to retrieve the ball from Bluto's yard and gets captured. Bluto refuses to return the spaceman. This time, Popeye's nephews eat some spinach and take care of both Bluto and his bulldog, rescuing the friendly alien.
