Popeye - Season 22 / Year 1953

It's the middle ages (sort of); Popeye is working in Bluto's Beanery. Bluto is going to the ball where Princess Olive will choose her mate. Popeye's fairy godpappy appears and it's a reverse Cinderella story, with a car created from a can of spinach.

Olive invites the boys over for dinner. They play briefly with Swee'pea, but when the inevitable fight starts, they ignore him and he wanders off to a construction site. The boys alternate between fighting each other and rescuing the tot, with Bluto concentrating on fighting and Popeye on saving.

Olive is preparing a birthday party for Popeye. He arrives too soon, and she assigns his nephews (only three in this picture) to keep him out until she's ready. They do this in their usual creative ways.

Popeye and Olive are at a bullfight selling snacks. When toreador Bluto throws the bull, Olive falls for him. Then the bull throws Bluto, and it's up to Popeye to save the day and win his cutie back. Popeye upstages Bluto, who gets back at him by pouring jumping beans into his spinach can.

Popeye and Bluto fight over taking Olive out; she decides they'll all stay home together. While looking over a family album, Popeye tells the story of a day-long fight he and Bluto had as infants.

Popeye and Bluto are manning a fire station when the alarm comes in: it's Olive's house. Of course, with these two, Olive has to do most of the work herself. She even eats Popeye's spinach, saves the boys, and takes over their firehouse.

Popeye is abducted by Martians who conduct a series of hideous experiments on him, but thanks to his copious spinach supply (4 cans), all the experiments fail.

Olive refuses to go out with either of the boys until they get a shave and haircut (Popeye actually has stubble). Barber Wimpy is out, so they take turns. First Popeye takes care of Bluto, making him actually look presentable; then it's Bluto's turn to give Popeye the works of course, he's going to get a different treatment.
