It's Prof. Bluteau's School of Etiquette operating out of the penthouse of a fancy apartment building. Popeye and Olive Oyl are walking by when she sees the sign. She wants Popeye to be a gentleman just like Bluteau.

The basic plot is very much the standard Popeye construction. This story version comes from a different origin, but the general shape is the same. Bluteau choking Olive is quite shocking. Let's be clear. Popeye cartoons are violent and Olive Oyl is often in the middle of it. It is still weird to have her physically chocked by the neck. The funniest bits are Popeye not understanding what Bluteau is saying. I just don't like the choking.

Trivia
Despite the elegant surroundings of his Art Deco penthouse, Bluteau is initially shown as his usual uncouth self as he reads a pulp Cops and Robbers novel.

Goofs
When the bell rings in the professor's office, he says, "Maybe it's a couple of cash customers." However, he never mentions the cost of the lesson Olive requests for Popeye.

Quotes
Professor Bluteau: [answering the door and seeing Popeye and Olive Oyl, he speaks French] Ahhh - entrez!
Popeye: Entrée? I already et, young fella.
