These 9 episodes are all "Screen Songs," made by Famous Studios in the mid 20th century. All are crisply and colorfully drawn, and are delightful, if one takes them in the context of the era, because they have many elements that are now considered "politically incorrect."

Ignatz find out that true friends can't be bought.

Snuffy, Barney and Louise are stranded in the big city with no money for a mule and a wagon until a pair of gangsters offer to buy them one if they will just deliver a note and a satchel to the nearby bank. Desperately in need of funds to return to Hootin' Holler, Snuffy gets a job helping out the men by standing guard outside of a building... not realizing that he's becoming an unwitting pawn to a pair of bank robbers. The chase is on. The only clue to the robbery is a photograph of Snuffy's hat

A humorous look at the future of suburbia.

Scat the Cat is chasing a mouse through a novelty store.

Mike the masquerader disguises himself as a kid in order to rob a bank.

A man schemes to get rich with a talking horse.

Jonathan P. Grisley, the president of a toy company, is sent to a psychiatrist to find out why he plays with toys. He goes back to childhood and thinks that he's got "toy phobia".

Bluto muscles out Popeye to take Olive to the fair. Popeye rushes ahead and poses as a fortune teller, luring Olive in. He shows Olive her future (actually, her past) in the crystal ball.

Popeye and Bluto are, believe it or not, pals and partners in a moving company. (Maybe it's because Popeye isn't squinting here.) Anyhow, Olive has made the mistake of hiring them. She hasn't finished packing yet, so the boys, smitten as soon as she answers the door, compete to help her. Once packed, they compete to move more impressive piles of her belongings. Popeye easily wins these contests, even though Bluto locks him in the van at one point. At the end, Bluto socks Popeye into the piano, then into a table; though he hardly seems to need it, Popeye still eats his spinach, then thrashes Bluto.

Olive is so captived by "The International", a radio personality with a French accent, that she'd rather stay home than go out on a date with Popeye. Bluto, overhearing this, comes to the door as the character.

Bluto is accusing Popeye in judge Wimpy's courtroom. Bluto tells a sad tale of how Popeye attacked him without provocation, but Popeye tells his side, in detail

It's Christmas Eve. Popeye's nephews are staying over with Olive, and Popeye is helping trim the tree. Bluto dresses as Santa and horns in on Olive.

Olive is playing nanny in the park as Popeye and Bluto bicycle past. They fight over her, waking the baby. Then they take turns trying to stop the baby crying or sabotaging the other's efforts. Popeye does impressions of a dog and an airplane and juggles cannonballs; Bluto does some rope twirling and a snake-charmer act.

It's the middle ages (sort of); Popeye is working in Bluto's Beanery. Bluto is going to the ball where Princess Olive will choose her mate. Popeye's fairy godpappy appears and it's a reverse Cinderella story, with a car created from a can of spinach.

Popeye calls on Olive and gets stuck baby-sitting Swee'Pea. While Popeye is preparing food (spinach, of course) for Swee'Pea, the tyke crawls outside after his ball and gets in a variety of dangerous situations that Popeye rescues him from in the nick of time (mostly animals in the zoo).

The cartoon travelogue shows us the splendors of Hawaii. Next, we're invited to follow the bouncing ball and sing along to "Blue Hawaii."

Lulu plans her revenge against a distressed golfer who refuses to give her a lollipop after he promised her one for caddying for him.
