Olive Oyl fires Wimpy from her blacksmith shop for eating hamburgers instead of working. When Popeye and Bluto see her sign advertising for help, they compete for the job, until it turns into an outright fight.
It's the first of a long series of cartoons in which Popeye and Bluto compete for a job, fight, and Bluto is winning until Popeye eats some spinach. There are plenty of gags in the Fleischer house style -- Dave Fleischer liked to put in a lot of big and little gags to keep things interesting. However, the presence of what would soon become the standard plot for the Popeye series stops this from being a topnotch entry. It's still a lot of fun.
