Popeye - Season 19 / Year 1950

To finally defeat Popeye, Bluto sets out to destroy the spinach crop.

Popeye runs a gym; his only customer on ladies day is Olive. Bluto, seeing Olive go in, dresses in drag to get admittance. Popeye comes on to him; all the while, Bluto is beating up Popeye and pretending they are accidents, until his wig comes off.

Popeye and Olive are having a day at the beach; the lifeguard (not drawn as Bluto, though he sounds and acts like him) sees Olive and puts the moves on.

Olive has invited the boys over, but finds Popeye old-fashioned compared to the zoot-suited Bluto. Popeye wants to dance a waltz, pull taffy, play pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey and croquet, and bob for apples, but Olive turns up her nose at all these as Bluto sabotages them. 

Popeye and Olive prepare to make a movie while his nephews watch. The movie is a significant portion of Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves (1937), which makes up over 80% of this release (beginning with Popeye, Olive, and Wimpy suffering in the desert), and despite admonitions, the nephews get involved a couple times, most notably tossing Popeye his can of spinach.

Popeye calls on Olive and gets stuck baby-sitting Swee'Pea. While Popeye is preparing food (spinach, of course) for Swee'Pea, the tyke crawls outside after his ball and gets in a variety of dangerous situations that Popeye rescues him from in the nick of time (mostly animals in the zoo).

Popeye takes Olive to the carnival; while he's busy winning candy at the "ring the bell" stand, strongman Bluto muscles in on her. There follows the inevitable contest, invevitably rigged.

Popeye's nephews want to play their music all night. The four are practicing symphonic music when Popeye insists they go to bed. They become bored and start playing jazz. Popeye comes to life and offers to tell them a fairy tale if they will stop.

Olive Oyl's Farm is desparately in need of a farmhand. Fortunately, or unfortunately, the boys are driving by. They compete for the job. Chores: Getting water from a well, picking apples, shoeing a horse, gathering eggs.
