Synopsis by Hal Erickson

In this cleverly assembled "cheater", Bluto sues Popeye for assault and battery. As burger-chomping Judge Wimpy listens sympathetically, a bandaged, wheelchair-bound Bluto insists that Popeye always beats him up for no good reason, citing as evidence excerpts from the earlier cartoons The Farmer and the Belle and How Green is My Spinach. But when it's Popeye's turn to testify, he turns the trial to his favor by entering as evidence a lengthy clip from 1949's The Balmy Swami.
