For a refreshing change of pace, Popeye & Bluto aren't in competition for the affections of Olive. Instead, they're supposed to be painting a fleet of small boats (at least Popeye is painting,where Bluto is content being a lazy S.O.B.). Bluto tries to feign sickness, is trucked to the closest hospital for some much needed R&R (yeah, right). When Popeye sees through Bluto's lie, he cross dresses as what has to be the ugliest nurse in history, and puts Bluto through the ringer (with some fairly sadistic results). This is one of the last Popeye cartoons that was shot in black & white by Famous Studios (once the Fleischer Brothers were given their walking papers,the rest of the series was filmed in various colour processes). This is a fast paced, ultra funny short that was actually a remake of a 1938 Captain & The Kids short, 'Cleaning House' for M-G-M studios (that,like 'Too Weak To Work',was also filmed in black & white). Occasionally aired on Cartoon Network's sister station Boomerang on either Late Nite Black & White, or on their half hour block of original Paramont/Fleischer/Famous Studio Popeye animated shorts (air times vary,depending).
