Popeye and Olive Oly are in a museum looking at a rocket exhibit. She accidentally sets it off and falls to the ground. Popeye is left onboard rocketing to the planet Mars where they are staging an impending invasion of Earth.
I'm not sure about the Japanese soldier behind the 8-ball. The war ended a year ago. I definitely have never seen this one. I wonder if this has been kept in storage due to its insensitivity. It's also a bit apocalyptic for a Popeye cartoon. I do like the design of the Martians which is a little Seuss-like. It's the start of the atomic age and that's the feel of this cartoon. It's alien invasion. It's interesting.
