Hold the Wire

Olive Oyl becomes romance-obsessed after reading her magazine. Popeye calls her on the phone and plays along with the lovey talk. Bluto overhears it and grows terribly jealous. He climbs up the telephone pole and taps into the call. He interferes with their conversation and Popeye confronts him. It is a battle among the telephone wires.

This is the standard Popeye trio. The start has some fun with the love poetry. The location is a bit unusual. Being high up is not usual. High-wire fighting is. At the end of the day, the poetry is funnier than expected, but the fighting could be more interesting.
