Synopsis
Olive is found mixing cement for her new home when Popeye and Bluto happen along. Of course, they both want to help Olive build the new dwelling, but because they keep fighting, she lets each build one half the house. In a fit of rivalry and mutually assured sabotage of each other's efforts, they wind up building a structure not unlike Buster Keaton's numbered do-it-yourself house in "One Week."

House Tricks
Here's a classic comedy almost like BUSTER KEATON, or LAUREL AND HARDY style of slapstick! It's Popeye Vs Bluto again, with Olive Oyl's house as the target! The shapely legs of Olive Oyl after being pulled from the cement, are in worth the whistle! As usual Bluto's work on one half of the house, is totally attrocious! Popeye's handywork on the other hand is perfect! With help of spinach once more, Popeye completes the job, and gives Bluto a grand workout! The final scene is mistakenly funny! How can the slow shutting of a front lead to complete destruction? I'll never know! The outcome is funny no matter surprizing!
