Synopsis
Popeye and Olive are driving in the country when it starts to rain. They seek shelter in a a haunted ol' house haunted by some beatnik ghosts. The eerie and rather mischievous spirits have fun with them by pulling tricks until they have Popeye knocked out. Olive feeds Popeye his spinach, and he zips out, lifts the house up from its foundation, and shakes the ghosts out. They run off in a panic as Popeye sings the Popeye song.

Production notes
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.
