Skyscraper Capers

Popeye, Brutus and Wimpy create chaos and havoc in a skyscraper construction zone! Brutus hires Popeye to help build a skyscraper. Wimpy has a "bellhop"-type role as part of a skyscraper crew. Popeye can do nothing right- he inadvertently gives Brutus a beating and gets him into scrapes. It builds up to an all-out fight over the skyscraper- construction and height gags resulting.

Popeye, Brutus, Wimpy

King Features had no cartoon studios, so Popeye storyboards were produced in its offices, while animation was divided between Paramount/Famous Studios, Larry Harmon Productions, Total TV Productions, Gene Deitch/Rembrandt Studios, Halas and Batchelor and Jack Kinney Productions.

Of those stations which bought the King Features Popeye cartoons in 1960, 90% renewed their contracts in 1965.

Note the change in the villain's name… from Bluto to Brutus.
