*Plot

Popeye and Olive Oyl stroll happily along when Popeye catches sight of a roller rink: The Declares read "Good Skates 50 cents, Cheap Skates 25 cents." Asked to go skating, Olive protests that she does not know how; However, Popeye tells Olive that he will teach her! Inside the rink, the Attendant asks Popeye what size of skates he wishes to rent. Popeye tells Olive to "Make a fist" so the attendant Attendant can measure it. ("A hand like a foot and a half," he mutters, deftly wrapping a skate about the Lady's great clenched hand.) Popeye hammers the long, slender skates with his fists to the bottom of Olive's shoes; she falls over a couple of times as Popeye delicately slips on his own. They go to the rink and Popeye, swinging his arms as if he's rowing a canoe, gracefully demonstrates the proper technique; Olive attempts to move, but can only kick the air and flap her skinny arms as she falls headfirst into the railing around the rink. She frees her head by her own strength, but her feet become stuck in the same way as a result: with a struggle, one foot is freed, and an exasperated Olive is helped by Popeye, who gently releases the other foot and dusts off his indignant companion (adept enough to tap her foot impatiently), and he points out all of the other Skaters roller skating joyously.
