Synopsis by Hal Erickson

After receiving a phone call that she holds a winning sweepstakes ticket (number 86252), Olive Oyl frantically searches her house to find the missing ticket, forcing Popeye to join the search. Ultimately, the ticket is recovered--only to be dropped out of an open window. Forced to chases after the valuable ticket, Popeye manages to run afoul of a haughty female pedestrian, a speeding car, a playful fish and a gang of tough guys at the "Slap-Happy Gym." In the end, Olive gets her prize--but Popeye is left with nothing but a case of "apoplexy." This cartoon features a cameo by Twinkletoes, the goofy-looking carrier pigeon introduced in the 1939 Fleischer animated feature Gulliver's Travels.
