Strikes, Spares, an' Spinach

Popeye takes Olive Oyl out for some bowling lessons, only to find ol' Brutus up to his mischievous shenanigans. Brutus finds out that Popeye has a date to take Olive bowling. Brutus rushes over to Olive's house to tell her that Popeye has a date with a blonde, and that he asked him to keep the date with Olive. Popeye arrives in the nick of time, and Brutus laughs it off as a gag. While Popeye is teaching Olive how to bowl, Brutus messes things up- unbeknownst to them- until Popeye catches him in the act. Popeye eats his spinach, then chases and catches Brutus. Popeye shapes Brutus into a bowling ball, which Popeye throws, knocking over a row of ashcans.
