Plot[]

While Popeye is falling asleep, his nephews play their music, and he is woken by their noisier displays. He tells them a story to make them go to sleep, then races to his own bed after they say their prayers and turn in. The boys, however, decide to go back to playing their instruments - which are promptly confiscated by Popeye. They discover that many objects are capable of producing music and cause Popeye to wake up again. Unable to identify the boys as the source of the loud noise, even by peeking from the window and the floorboards to catch them in the act, the sailor returns to his bed and pulls it from the cartoon's iris out, then shuts the latter. However, he continues to be driven crazy even after he steps out into the movie theater screen, leaving the film to end with the music playing.
