clip show

Popeye and Bluto are barkers desperate to lure customers to their neighboring penny arcades. Nobody is coming in. Wimpy walks by and the boys battle to get him. The arcades play clips of other Popeye shorts. When the boys' battle turns physical, Wimpy is able to collect a hatful for customers rushing in to see them fight. This is essentially a clip show. The premise is better than most clip shows. Turning into a fight is brilliant but it is nevertheless a clip show.
