Inspired by Olive Oyl's singing, Popeye sets out with a skip and a jump to help his fellow man. When he encounters a riot, however, he finds himself suffering for his beliefs.
There are a lot of small, hidden gags in this Fleischer cartoon lurking in the background, from a reference to Chaplin's EASY STREET to the signs that proclaim what business is conducted in a shop. Although the dirt of Segar's THIMBLE THEATER comic strip is lacking, there is always the amusingly run-down and twisted urban landscape to amuse the observant audience, and the "I Yam What I Yam" attitude of the Sailor Man. It's a solid and funny episode in the cartoon series.
