Popeye is rehearsing his band -- Wimpy, Olive Oyl, her brother Castor, and Oscar -- and pretty off-key in their rendition of the "Poet and Peasant Overture. In comes Bluto, who shows off his musical chops and steals the players away. Fortunately, Popeye has a can of spinach hidden in the spinet.
It's a good, if standard plot for the Popeye cartoons, but it is enlivened by its side. Whoever is playing the piano does a nice jazz version of von Suppe's music.
If you don't recognize Castor Oyl and Oscar, don't worry. They were characters in Elzie Segar's THIMBLE THEATER comic strip, where the Popster, Olive, and Wimpy originated.
