synopsis
Popeye and Bluto are rival penny-arcade owners who knock themselves (and each other) out trying to attract patrons. Alas, their only customer for the evening is that champion moocher Wimpy, who borrows several pennies (which he will gladly repay Tuesday) pennies so he can enjoy the attractions in the boys' manually operated flip-picture machines. Not surprisingly, these mini-movies consist of excerpts from previous "Popeye the Sailor" cartoons, in this case "Let's Get Movin'" and "The Twisker Pitcher". This entertaining "cheater" was remade in 1954 asPenny Antics.
