Hamburger-eating Wimpy, the plumber, speaks a few lines in this short. He usually just chows down on hamburgers.
Roller skates, which were popular with children, also saw use in places like mail order warehouses and public library book stacks at the time.
Popeye nods to the popular radio serial, The Lone Ranger, at one point in his monologue.
One of the few times Wimpy eats something other than a hamburger.
Popeye sees the water flowing out of a broken pipe into a spiral and then going into the other end of the pipe and says, "Whoa, I fixed the water over there, it goes around, and it runs out here." This is a take-off on the lyrics (by Red Hodgson} to "The Music Goes 'Round and Around", a popular Tommy Dorsey song of a couple years earlier.
