Synopsis
Popeye and Wimpy set out for darkest India and some "big-game" hunting. They learn that a native village is terrified of Tonga, the fiercest man-eating tiger of the land. Popeye wants to capture Tonga in the jungle. Tonga grabs Wimpy off the turtle on which they're riding. Popeye tries to rescue Wimpy by decoying the tiger with hamburger, which Wimpy grabs first. They escape to the turtle's shell for the night. The next morning, Popeye attempts to capture the tiger by forcing him out of the lair with dynamite and into bear traps. The tiger throws the dynamite back, and Popeye and Wimpy are trapped in bear clamps. They beg the turtle for help. The turtle is too slow, and the dynamite blows.

Production notes
Popeye eats no spinach in this episode.
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.
