Can You Take It

Popeye escorts his girl, Olive, to her new job at the hospital--which is adjacent to the Bruiser Boys Club. Popeye is curious what the place is and it turns out the club is for he-men--though considering all the stupid things they do to the initiates, I think they're all a bunch of idiots and sadists! They beat the crap out of them--and it's even worse when Popeye is blindfolded and sent into a house of horrors--with spinning circular saws and the like! Eventually, this even gets the best of Popeye--who ends up in the hospital next door. But, not wanting Bluto and his pals to win, he uses his spinach and cleans house.

This is an enjoyable but insane installment of Popeye. It's even more violent and senseless than usual. But it's also entertaining as well. Strange but well made and fascinating.
