Olive Oyl is entranced by "The International", a radio Lothario personality with a French accent. The International suggests that the ladies stay in and wait for a possible visit from him. Olive refuses to go out with Popeye in order to wait. Bluto overhears this and pretends to be The International.
Why doesn't she recognize Bluto? It's the Superman conundrum where nobody seems to recognize that he's Clark Kent. At least, Clark has his glasses. Bluto only puts on a suit. I don't see how Olive would mistake him for an imaginary character that she's never seen. I was hoping that she doesn't know Bluto in this reality but that's not the case. It's Superman but worst. Why can't they put a mask on Bluto? As for the concept, it's silly but it fits the sometimes flightiness of Olive. At least, it's a rarely done concept.
