Popeye The Sailor Man: Floor Flusher (Cartoon, 1954)

"Floor Flusher" is the 201st theatrical cartoon featuring Popeye the Sailor Man, released on January 1, 1954, by Famous Studios. It was paired as a double bill with the Casper the Friendly Ghost cartoon "Boo Moon." The short, running approximately 6-7 minutes, is a classic example of the slapstick humor and rivalry-driven plots typical of the Popeye series during this era.
Plot Summary: The story begins with Olive Oyl in her kitchen, meticulously decorating a cake with cherries. However, her efforts are interrupted by a persistent drip from a leaky faucet. Frustrated, Olive attempts to stop the leak by plugging it with one of her cherries. As the situation escalates, the sink threatens to flood her kitchen and ruin the cake. Olive ingeniously protects her dessert by using two pitchers to catch the water and even drinks some to manage the overflow.Meanwhile, outside, Popeye arrives with a bouquet of flowers for Olive, showcasing his affection. However, his rival, Bluto, lurks in the sewer, observing Popeye's arrival with jealousy. Bluto, ever the antagonist, decides to sabotage the situation by tampering with Olive's plumbing from the basement, causing chaos with additional leaks and flooding.The plot takes a whimsical turn when a flood enables two goldfish from Olive's bowl to escape and deliver Popeye's spinach—a key element in the series that grants him superhuman strength. Transformed into a "torpedo" of power, Popeye confronts Bluto, delivering a decisive punch that sends him unconscious down the drain and out into the street. The cartoon concludes with Popeye singing in celebration, though his pipe fills with water, humorously cutting his song short.
