在这部Puttin on the Act动画/短片/家庭片中,这一天，奥莉弗（麦姬·海因斯 Margie Hines 配音）手里拿着一份报纸兴奋地狂奔。此时此刻，大力水手卜派（杰克·梅瑟 Jack Mercer 配音）正在家里哄小甜豆睡觉，看到兴冲冲的奥莉弗，他一时还搞不清状况，直到奥莉弗将报纸递给他。原来杂耍表演（Vaudeville）风潮又回来了，对于藏有一身绝活的卜派和奥莉弗来说，这可真是一个大展才华的好机会。他们翻箱倒柜，找出自己珍藏的表演服装和道具。在小小的房间内，这对不太着调的情侣接连上演一场又一场精彩绝伦、令人击节赞叹的杂耍表演，而可爱的小甜豆则充当报幕员。
当他们兀自沉浸其中时，却忽视了重要的细节……
Olive rushes over to show Popeye the headline: Vaudeville is coming back. They agree to rehearse their old act. After a brief song-and-dance intro, the act begins: Popeye demonstrating his strength while Olive displays her flexibility and balance; impersonations of 'Jimmy Durante', Stan Laurel and Groucho Marx; and the last act, more feats of strength and agility.
