This is the simplest of plots but it is "cute" and a lot fun to watch as Popeye battles the most destructive group of termites you've ever seen.
Popeye is singing while working on the roof of his house constructing a chimney, which he does in about two seconds! "Now me house is finished," he boasts as he does the last chore: paint his name on his mailbox, which is on a post outside. To his horror, the mailbox disappears quickly in the ground. Popeye gets out a magnifying glass and sees an army of "toimites" marching in file - hundreds with antennae and sadistic grins on their faces!
The whole cartoon is battling these monsters who can devour the entire house in seconds! Watching them work, section-by-section, is really incredible to see. How Popeye combats these "vultures" is fun to see, too. His attitude is fantastic, never seeming to lose his cool. despite some catastrophic events.
I wish they would have made more of these inventive stories. Sometimes you get tired of the same old Popeye vs. Bluto over Olive themes. This was great stuff!
