Olive decides she's going to make a fortune selling apple pies. But her salesman, Popeye, trades all of her pies to the Sea Hag for a magic can of spinach. Olive is disgusted and throws the can out of the window. The can immediately sprouts a giant spinach stalk that reaches into the clouds. Popeye climbs it and finds the house of a giant (Brutus). The giant has already captured Olive. He demands that she bake him one-thousand pies a day. And at night, she'll play music on the harp he has glued to her back. Brutus smells Popeye about and demands that Eugene the Jeep tell him where the sailor is. Popeye comes out of hiding and gets tough with a guy as tall as a skyscraper.
