Bob Hope is hosting to a tribute to "the man who has eaten spinach for 20 years, Popeye The Sailor Man." At the testimonial, besides Bluto (surprisingly) are celebrities Jimmy Durante, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
Popeye isn't much for speeches, so he brought "some movies that show why I became famous." We see excerpts from two of his famous movies (as he modestly puts it): "Tops In The Big Top," and "Rodeo Romeo."
Hope (with a voice that is anything but Bob's) awards Popeye a silver loving cup but Bluto, now totally teed off after watching those movies in which he always loses, slams the cup over Popeye's head. However, the cup contains spinach, so we get the predictable results.
Despite the fact this is one of those cop-out cartoons in which most of it is not original, it was still enjoyable (probably because I hadn't seen those old cartoon clips). Still, this is still an easy way out to produce another story.
