## Plot summary

Captain Popeye and his crew [e.g Bluto] leaves on a maritime expedition around the world as many adoring well-wishers cheer him on. The crowd stands on a dock, which is pulled apart as Popeye's motorboat, still tied to the structure, sails away, leaving the people floating in the water.

The story skips ahead in time, and Popeye & his companion Bluto and pals have found land. It is, as Buddy notes upon looking about and checking his map, the "Lost Island!" Popeye's parrot, in his excitement, leaves the crew to see footprints that move away from him every time they are sniffed. This process takes Bluto through a forest, dominated, as we find, by a Brontosaurus, whose discovery frightens him into a run. Salty topples a cave lady jump roping, and encounters a caveman who seems to suppose himself a dog, as he digs up a bone and scurries off with it; Salty finds a bone as well, which leads him to unearth an entire dinosaur skeleton! The dog becomes trapped within the skeleton's rib cage; Popeye sees this and flips his lid. By opening the mouth of the deceased dinosaur, Popeye is able to rescue his companion.

Bluto now spies, through some reeds, another peculiar fellow acting like a dog, and calls Olive over to see. But, despite Buddy's injunctions to silence, Salty's yelling scares the strange man away. The dog chases the fleeing fellow into a cave, in which both are then trapped. Popeye calls after Salty and is eaten by a gigantic, ravenous plant, whose digestive tract leaves him on a hillside, overlooking a society of cavemen, some hard at work, others busying themselves with croquet. Our Hero decides to descend, and so slides down the neck of what happens to be a very friendly brontosaurus. We see then three Stooge-*esque* cavemen abusing each other; one indicates Olive, who is tied up very close by. The Stooge takes Bluto to what turns out to be the base of a cage. Bluto, hurrying away from his dinosaur friend in order to rescue Salty, also becomes ensnared in the cage.

The story skips ahead in time again. Popeye and his companion are in a pot of water, presumably in order for them to be cooked. Two of the Lost Island's cave denizens perform an absurd dancing ritual that involves a good measure of abuse by clubs; the crowd of cave people watch as the ritual takes place. Bluto shouts for help, and is heard by none other than his Brontosaurus, pterodactyl and T-Rex friends from earlier. The approaching T-rex roars and scares off some of the rouge cavemen, some of whom are further picked up by the great pterodactyl and Brontosaurus and thrown off-screen. When the cavemen land in the swamp, a giant Mosasaurus attacks and a Tylosaurus pursues the foe cavemen with a roar and swallows some of the enemy cavemen whole.

The friendly Flintstones-esque cavemen and woman, as well as other dinosaurs [as well as pterodactyls and other animals] cheer after Popeye eats spinach and saying "that's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!" After feeding the enemy leader to a giant Deinosuchus crocodile, the Brontosaurus then places Bluto, Olive, Sweet pea, Popeye and Salty the parrot on its back and says "You're safe now, man!" . Giving his thanks, Popeye places his sailor's hat upon his new friend's head, and is licked affectionately by his new prehistoric animal friends. Then, Popeye sings "If you bother dinos, they'll beat you or they'll just try to eat you swears Popeye the sailor man!" then, the T-Rex roars before he chuckles and says "I've wanted to say that!" as the three Stooge-esque cavemen, who have reformed, laugh with Popeye.
