Popeye and Bluto fight a boxing match.
I have mixed feeling about this early Popeye cartoon. On the downside, it's simply and purely the same thing that would be run into the ground over the next twenty years in the series. Popeye and Bluto fight. Bluto is winning until Popeye eats spinach, whereupon Popeye wins. Yawn. Also, Bonnie Poe voices Olive Oyl. I have nothing against her except that she isn't Mae Questal, but even so...
On the plus side, this is the Fleischer era, and one thing director Dave Fleischer always insisted on was lots and lots of gags, big ones and little one. So there's always something interesting to look at.
