When this short aired on television, the sequence where Popeye removes the disguise was cut, presumably due to topless nudity. (The chest was designed feminine inside the dress Popeye was wearing as he strips to his underwear.) It is unclear whether the cut scene still exists, as the scene is missing from all television prints.
Popeye interrupts Davy Jones in his locker, which is shown as a telephone booth.
Popeye is saved by a juvenile swordfish, who is reading a Popeye comic book as it swims by.
The Good Evening, Friends line, attributed to popular performer Johnnie Ray, would have been familiar to audiences of the time.
When the skeleton joins in the singing, the WW2 phrase Kilroy Was Here is seen on the underside of the chest lid.
