Olive Oyl in a bathing suit? Wow! Gumby has more curves than Olive.
Anyway, through a knothole, Popeye gets a glance of this "hot babe" in a public swimming pool which helps him decide to answer the poster on the wall asking for lifeguard help.
Olive does a belly flop from the high platform, making a big "X" in the pool. Popeye's reaction? "Oh, gosh, ain't she swell?" Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, except Bluto has always thought the same.
What is wrong with these guys?
Bluto, the big bully, comes along and takes a look for himself and says, "Wow, oh baby, what a pip!"
I love the dialog in the 1930s Popeye cartoons, especially when Popeye and Bluto start mumbling. With English subtitles you can understand what they say and many times it is very funny.
No sense going into the story as you can figure it out. Both want the job and a closer look at Olive....and the battle is on! Whoever is the better swimmer will get the job.
There are a number of good sight gags in here and I guarantee you'll laugh when you see Popeye's bathing suit!
