An elegantly dressed crook escapes from officer Wimpy's handcuffs and makes his way into Popeye's pawn shop. There he gets into a duel with Popeye involving swords.
It's a very good Fleischer Popeye cartoon because of the large varieties of gags, both large and small. In addition, Olive Oyl, as Popeye's assistant, gets more to do than usual. She not only plays mumblety-peg with a bunch of knives, but she gets involved with the inevitable fight between Popeye and the enormous crook.
The great number of gags was a hallmark of the Fleischer cartoons. Director Dave Fleischer insisted on them, and his staff was happy to comply, and the audience was happy to laugh.
