Compilation film, scenes from I Eats My Spinach (1933), Wild Elephinks (1933), Axe Me Another (1934), and Popeye the Sailor (1933).

Goofs
When the kid buys the comic book, he is wearing black and white shoes. When confronted by the bully, his shoes are all white.

Alternate versions
This film features live-action, black and white footage of a little boy buying a Popeye book, then being picked on by a bully. Popeye comes to life and shows the tyke scenes from his earlier adventures. In the colored version, the live-action footage is left in black and white, but the animated scenes are redrawn in color. The last five minutes of the film get thrown out of sync with the animation due to the colorization process.

The Boy Gets to Turn Violent

A little boy, minding his own business, has just purchased a book about Popeye. As he is walking along, a bully, twice his size, assaults him. Popeye, who is in the book, sees this and shows the boy a series of vignettes from some of his movies. I'm sure this was a cheap way to put out an animated film. He finds himself in several settings. First he is in a bull ring and turns a gigantic bull into various cuts of meat. Secondly, he is in the jungle with Olive and confronts all these wild animals. Again, he violently dispatches each of them in a creative way. In another he is fighting Bluto on a log on a river. There is a pretty funny high chair bit. Average Popeye stuff.
