Synopsis
Olive gives a party, but hipster Bluto wants it to really swing, and Popeye wants it to be an old-fashioned party. Popeye finds himself competing with Bluto until his head is encased in quick-drying cement. Fortunately, Popeye finds his spinach, and he breaks free. A zoot-suited Popeye stops Bluto, and he jitterbugs with Olive!

THIS REALLY SWINGS!!!!!! Delightful little minimovie featuring a beautiful, flirtatious Olive, a handsome clean-shaven, Gordon MacRae-esque Bluto (His look in this one was prolly spozed to be a send up of Sinatra in the bobby-soxer days, but to me he looked more like an animated Gordon MacRae) and Popeye acting like a perfect dork! What more could a POPEYE fan ask for? Gotta love the piano scene and the hot dog scene! Five spinach cans"
