Popeye proposes marriage to Olive Oyl. Bluto rushes to proposes as well. Olive does an Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe and lands on Popeye. Bluto works to sabotage their wedding.
Olive is the worst. Sure, she chooses Popeye but she has to twist the knife. She has to accentuate that the choice is a random one. I don't know why Olive is written this way so many times. The rest is the standard Popeye trio story with some fun but even the climax has to twist the knife. Olive is willing to switch the wedding for essentially a suit. It is the least romantic portrayal of the concept of marriage. I just don't understand why Olive Oyl is written this way so often. If people want to defend marriage, they would cancel this short.
