Popeye brings a television set to an orphanage as a gift. The orphans turn on the TV and see Popeye is scheduled to fight in a boxing match. He hurries to the arena to face a large, brutish Champ. In the first round, Popeye is badly beaten. Between rounds, his “inner self” gives him advice, helping him fight smarter in round two (dodging, trickery) and land a knockout. The Champ tries to cheat by using an electrical wire, and even a telegram trick with a spring-loaded brick. Eventually, Popeye overcomes the obstacles (including the cheating) and triumphs, being declared the new Champion.
