The main gag in this Popeye cartoon is simply Olive and Popeye trying to find a winning sweepstakes ticket, with Popeye having to chase the elusive ticket (once it's found) all over the city and in the sea! Poor Popeye; the things he does for his friends, although - to be honest here - greed, not love, is motivating him. When Olive tells him she's searching for a winning sweepstakes ticket, our sailor man daydreams of living the rich life with chauffeurs, limousines and the works.
This cartoon reminds me a feature film called "Twenty Bucks" where the viewers follow a twenty-dollar bill as it goes from hand-to-hand. Here, the ticket is taken by the wind, automobiles, fish - you name - it and Popeye has to think fast to keep up with it.
You just know the payoff is not going to be what he and Olive assume it will be.....and it isn't! Overall, interesting because of the fast pace of Popeye chasing all over for the ticket but humor-wise, it's fair-at-best.
