Olive Oyl is accidentally laded onto Popeye's cargo ship. When the superstitious crew finds out there's a woman on board, they commit mutiny.
It's always good to see a Popeye cartoon without Bluto to fight; that's so common that it becomes boring. On the other hand, there is an assortment of rather generic sailors to take his place, as well as a beautifully rendered three-masted ship as part of the background art. As usual during the Fleischer era, the gags, big and little, abound, and a good capper joke winds up the entire thing satisfactorily.
Animation director Dave Tendlar apprenticed on the Krazy Kat shorts produced by Harrison and Gould, then settled into the Fleischer Studio, nd stayed at its successor until about 1950, when he went over to Terrytoons. He continued working at various animation studios until the early 1970s. He died in 1993 at the age of 84.
