This is one of the early color Popeye shorts done by Paramount and is a "cheater"-a cartoon made that uses footage taken from an earlier short in order to save time and/or money. Give the shortages in mateial and manpower (WWII was still going on), it was probably done to save both. Although the clips are taken from two of the three color two-reelers done by Fleischer Studios, they are short and the surrounding new material is good enough that it can hold its own with the clips. Later cheaters done by Paramount don't fare as well. Very good cartoon. The ending is a bit trite, but it's still worth watching. Recommended.
