    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This short has gained some infamy for its use of a sped-up voice clip used for the mouse, which includes swearing.
    • Goofs
      Popeye's legs are sticking through a broken window, and he lowers the sash completely, as though his legs aren't even there.
    • Quotes

      Mouse: [sped up dialogue] Oh yeah, because I don't need too much of it, it isn't a big scene, now let me get something I can really read, will ya? These words trip me up, goddamn, but I don't like that.

    Funny Role Reversal for the Spinached One
    A very amusing turn of the plotline for the POPEYE series, as Paramount matches him up with a mouse desperately trying to sleep, but cannot due to Popeye's snoring. As a result, the mouse tries various means of eliminating Popeye (while he sleeps, adding to the humor as Popeye wakes up in various uncomfortable situations). A wonderful production, and a nice change of pace from the usual "Bluto wants Olive to date him" scenario.
