Bottom Gun

Cattle rustler Brutus the Kid goes to Wimpy's chuckwagon for breakfast and wants ham and eggs. Wimpy has only burgers, so Brutus tries to swipe eggs from Popeye's chicken ranch. Popeye intercedes, but he gets the worst of it. Brutus is now off to a Wild West town with his eggs to buy a skillet. There he meets Olive, proprietress of the general store, and makes a play for her. Popeye comes to the general store to sell his eggs, sees Brutus annoying Olive, and challenges Brutus, the quickest draw in the West, after outsmarting him by pouring molasses on his gun holster. Brutus comes out second-best in the duel, but he engages Popeye in a tussle. Popeye gets his spinach and outbests Brutus. Olive rides off with Popeye in a chicken ranch wagon.

Popeye, Brutus, Olive Oyl, 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.
