Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Singing the praises of his new roadster, Popeye pulls up in front of Olive Oyl's house and offers to give her a ride. At the same time, Bluto drives into view in his sleek, streamlined gas-guzzler, advising Olive to go for a ride with him. When Olive chooses to remain with Popeye, Bluto decides to sabotage their motor excursion by rerouting the couple off the main highway and onto a treacherous mountainside path. The "high and dizzy" perspective gags in this cartoon are truly awe-inspiring, matched only by the wild-and-wooly chase finale. (A warning to youngsters: don't try to replace your dad's auto pistons with spinach cans. Popeye can do it because he's a professional).
