Popeye's fan club sends a telegram asking them to tone down the violence and act civilized, so everyone dresses up and acts formal for a while, at least.
In the 1930s, the Fleischer Studios made a ton of Popeye cartoons. And while the quality of the animation was amazingly good, the cartoons suffered from two things. First, despite great animation, until WWII, they still were black & white--even when other studios were making full-color cartoons. Second, for the most part, when you've seen one, you've seen them all, as the same basic plot was recycled again and again. This time, however, the cartoon starts off normally BUT Popeye receives a letter from his fans saying they wanted a nice and non-violent cartoon--one that is sophisticated. So, Popeye, Bluto and Olive decide to be sophisticated and they try so hard--and fail so miserably! It's quite clever and worth a look--even if you hate Popeye.
