Hey, you can get hypnotized for just 10 cents in this Popeye cartoon of 1941. Professor "I. Stare" will hypnotize you.
The problem is the guy can't drum up any business. So, he grabs a phone book, flips the pages and random puts his finger on the page. Yes, it's "Olive Oyl," whose name is on the swami's fingertip. (I say swami because the guy is wearing a turban, has a beard and looks like the stereotyped one of the day.)
Anyway, the guy must be pretty good as the words "come to me, come to me," over the phone soon put Olive in trance and see sleepwalks out of the apartment. Popeye, you had been with her at the time, sizes up the situation and follows her.
The rest of the cartoon - the bulk of it - is Popeye battling traffic, construction sites and skyscrapers in trying to follow Olive.
"I'm just a victim of circum-trance," comments Popeye.
There are good sight gags in here, although ones we've seen before in previous sleepwalking stories, and the artwork looked excellent on this new restored Popeye The Sailor Man 1941-1943 DVD.
