Popeye - Season 21 / Year 1952

Popeye sets out on a journey to reunite with his estranged father.

Popeye and Olive take his nephews on a picnic. They don't want to eat their spinach, so Popeye tells them about his school days, when Bluto repeatedly got Popeye in trouble and eventually stole Olive away until Popeye had his spinach and saved her from an oncoming train.

Popeye and Bluto are in a swimming race across the English Channel. As usual, Bluto has a million ways to cheat, and Popeye overcomes all of them to win.

To convince Popeye to throw away his spinach, Bluto fakes his death, after showing clips of "spinach moments" from a couple earlier shows.

Popeye is building a house while his nephews practice their music. The kids come out to help, but only cause trouble, so Popeye sends them back to practice. He finishes his house, goes in, and it collapses. The boys decide they can help Popeye and practice at the same time, so they build a skyscraper luxury apartment building to the tune of the ever-popular Poet and Peasant Overture.

Popeye is hosting three of his western-obsessed nephews on his ranch. To get them to eat their spinach, he tells about how he arrived at the ranch and was humiliated by foreman Bluto until, of course, he ate his spinach.

Popeye's snoring is keeping his resident mouse awake. The mouse fights back. Popeye makes a mistake: he traps the mouse in a spinach can that isn't completely empty.

Popeye tells his nephews the story of how he met Sindbad the Sailor and knocked the tar out him.
