Known For
Child Sockology
Olive invites the boys over for dinner. They play briefly with Swee'pea, but when the inevitable fight starts, they ignore him and he wanders off to a construction site. The boys alternate between fighting each other and rescuing the tot, with Bluto concentrating on fighting and Popeye on saving.
Barking Dogs Don't Fite
Olive asks Popeye to walk her dainty new poodle Reggie, to his intense embarrassment. Bluto comes by with his bulldog, Killer, who tries to kill Reggie. The resourceful little pooch avoids Killer for a while, but is eventually caught, and when Popeye tries to help, Bluto takes him out of commission as well, until they both eat their spinach just before Bluto is ready to run them both over with a steam-roller.
Snow Place Like Home
Popeye and Olive are relaxing in the water off Miami when a hurricane hits. It carries them to the North Pole. Fortunately, a penguin comes by advertising Pierre's Trading Post; unfortunately, Pierre has eyes for Olive.
Silly Hillbilly
Popeye's traveling department store comes to hillbilly country. He gets upset as Bluto, mistaking a radiator for an accordion, cuckoo clocks for a shooting gallery, and a girdle for a hammock, does violence to his store. But Olive arrives, looking for a makeover, and that distracts Popeye a while. Bluto sees the "new" Olive and gets jealous, and the feud is on.
Happy Birthdaze
It's Popeye's birthday, and Olive Oyl invites him over and bakes him a cake. Popeye invites depressed shipmate Shorty to join them.
Robin Hood-Winked
Popeye is Robin Hood; he's got a sidekick, Little John. Bluto is the tax collector, and Olive is the owner/barmaid at the local pub. Bluto comes to the pub to collect taxes and falls for Olive.
The Fly's Last Flight
Popeye is settling in for a nap in his hammock, but every sound in the city is disturbing him until he moves indoors. Even there, he's plagued by houseflies. He chases them outdoors, except for one. That one ends up in a spinach can and gives Popeye a real fight.
Hot Air Aces
Despite the title, the vehicles here are airplanes, not balloons. Bluto and Popeye are racing around the world; Bluto's got a sort of rocket plane, and Popeye's got a sad old prop model that has to be hand-started. He gets off to a bad start, as Bluto spins the prop, getting Popeye tangled up in it. This knocks him out; Olive puts him into his plane and gives him a push, and Popeye wakes up in the nick of time. Bluto stops off at the Eiffel Tower to woo a maiden; Popeye, with help from a lightning bolt, passes him. Bluto catches up again, and removes Popeye's engine. The plane crashes into the ocean, but fortunately, there's a case of spinach and a giant magnet nearby, so Popeye rebuilds the plane, using spinach cans to replace the missing pistons, and wins the race, as his spinach exhaust fries Bluto's plane.
Symphony in Spinach
Singer Olive Oyl needs an accompanist, and both Popeye and Bluto apply for the job.
Popeye's Premiere
Popeye and Olive are at the premiere of Popeye's new movie. He gets a little too wrapped up in the movie, interacting with it at various points, and even handing the screen version of himself a can of spinach. The movie itself is the story of Aladdin, minus the songs and about half the footage of the short it's cut from.
