Better Than Most

Bluto runs a greasy spoon. For some reason, Wimpy is hanging around, eating up all the profits. When he sabotages all the efforts of his boss, Popeye, a customer, is furious. Soon he and Bluto have it out. There are great sight gags and it is quite original.

Trivia
The Fleisher brothers (Dave Fleischer and Lou Fleischer) used Bluto in this short as the operator of a diner who is annoyed by Wimpy's hamburger mooching. This is loosely taken from E.C. Segar's Thimble Theatre comic where a recurring character named Rough House, a hard working chef who owns and operates the Rough House Cafe, is often seen serving meals to Popeye and his friends and trying to avoid the mooching ways of the hamburger loving Wimpy. Bluto is used in this cartoon to give Popeye someone to fight since Rough House is an ally to Popeye.

Quotes
[first lines]
Wimpy: [singing] There's nothing in the world that can compare / With a hamburger, juicy and rare. / A hamburger lives for the pleasure it gives; / It's a thrill on the bill of fare. / Such heavenly food deserves the best: / A home and contentment beneath my vest. / There's nothing in the world that's so divine / As a hamburger, tender and fine - / I adore you, hamburger mine!
