Safari So Good

Popeye and Olive are on an African safari, he with a rifle, she with a camera. Olive happens across a Tarzan-like man (Bluto), and she and he are immediately smitten with one another.

Popeye, feeling sorry for the puppies in the window of Olive Oyl's pet shop, buys all the animals (mostly dogs) and sets them free. A parrot declines to go, singing the title song to explain why it likes it just fine in the shop. Meanwhile, the freed dogs are not faring well.

Snubbed by a Snob

Spunky makes a few more overtures, and eventually they set off on a chase, running across a bull from time to time. The horse stops to eat a lot of apples and drink far too much water; this leaves him too bloated to move much at all. The two continue to anger the bull, which gives chase; Spunky saves the colt, and they all live in harmony.
