Episodes

Olive Oyl for President
In this musical cartoon, Popeye and Olive attend a political convention. One man is promising things in a language that no one understands, while another is a two-headed man who promises twice the results. Olive suggests that she should run for president, but when Popeye scoffs at the idea, she hits him on the head with a frying pan and he dreams about what it would be like if Olive were president.

Wigwam Whoopee
Popeye follows along behind the Mayflower in his own rowboat. He washes up on Plymouth Rock. Meanwhile, Indian princess Olive is showering beneath a waterfall. She accidentally gets stuck in Popeye's musket, and is blasted into the sky. When she comes down, Popeye kisses her to revive her, and they instantly fall in love. The chief, who has designs on Olive himself, sees this and goes after Popeye, but since he doesn't want to alienate Olive himself, avoids a direct confrontation.

Pre-Hysterical Man
Popeye and Olive are atop the highest peak in Yellowstone Park; Olive falls off into a deep hole, where a caveman and dinosaur are still living. Olive almost ends up in the dinosaur, but the caveman (longing for a woman) saves her.

Popeye Meets Hercules
The first Olympics, starring Hercules (looking, but not quite sounding, like a really pumped-up Bluto), who challenges anyone to do the same feats as him. Popeye takes that challenge, of course.

Wolf in Sheiks Clothing
Popeye and Olive are riding a camel in Arabia. They stop to fill the camel with water and freshen up a bit; Olive muses aloud that she'd like to kiss a sheik. A sheik, looking a lot like Bluto, happens to overhear this and sets up a kissing booth.

Spinach vs Hamburgers
Popeye's nephews would rather have hamburgers than spinach, so Popeye recounts some of his past exploits where spinach saved the day.

Snow Place Like Home
Popeye and Olive are relaxing in the water off Miami when a hurricane hits. It carries them to the North Pole. Fortunately, a penguin comes by advertising Pierre's Trading Post; unfortunately, Pierre has eyes for Olive.

Robin Hood-Winked
Popeye is Robin Hood; he's got a sidekick, Little John. Bluto is the tax collector, and Olive is the owner/barmaid at the local pub. Bluto comes to the pub to collect 100% taxes and falls for Olive, who he tries to impress with trick archery, but Popeye/Robin makes a fool of him.

Symphony in Spinach
Singer Olive Oyl needs an accompanist, and both Popeye and Bluto apply for the job.
