I've seen this occur in other cartoons and I was sorry to see it here, done for the first time, I think, in a Popeye cartoon: basically a cartoon of rehashed material....or at least 60 percent of this was that.
The first two minutes of this cartoon is new material but after that, it's re-run scenes from previous Popeye cartoons. They are action scenes in which Popeye flies a plane, high dives and puts together a bridge in seconds.
The above scenes are all shown on film to a movie director looking for a stunt man. Popeye had gone to "Mystery Studios" to show the man what brave stunts he has done in the past. Along the route, Swee Pea tags alone but Our Sailor Man tells him he's "too stunted" to be a stunt man. The tyke isn't happy but he crawls home.
As Popeye is about to show the director his best stunt, Swee Pea sneaks in and shows a reel of another old story, the one where he helps Popeye and Olive get out of a jam in a foundry. That cartoon was called "Lost and Foundry" and had some amazing sights in it.
You know who gets the stunt job, then!
"Well, blow me down," says Popeye at the end.
