Plot[]
Bluto vandalizes several billboards advertising "Popito and Olivita"'s nightly dance at Wimpy's Cafe, until he reaches the Cafe just as the two stars arrive. Bluto asks Olive for a date, but she rejects him, so he plans on revenge. As the show begins in the Cafe, hamburger-eating presenter Wimpy announces Olive's song "Why Am I So Beautiful". The song is a success with the general audience, however, Bluto, sitting at a nearby table, heckles her. Then, "Popito and Olivita"'s long-awaited dance begins, and they dance expertly until Bluto throws ice cubes at their feet to make them slip. He next substitutes himself for the female dance partner, beginning a punch-and-kick-laced dance between him and Popeye. The sailor is eventually thrown to the tables, becoming unconscious, but is promptly revived and given a spinach can by Olive. Eating the vegetable causes him to go into the Cossack folk dance, allowing him to kick Bluto repeatedly, and finally beat him into submission.
