Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough window cleaning squeegees might have been a novel sight to audiences, there were references to this product in the early 20th century. It was used in the printing trade as far back as the late 18th century.
- GoofsThere is no continuity to the number or location of windows that Bluto muddies. When he starts cleaning, there are only 3 dirty windows on each floor, even though he sprayed dirty water on 4 windows of each floor. Once Popeye goes out to clean windows, there are 8 or 9 windows across each floor that have mud on them.

When I'm Cleaning Windows
Bluto has a window-cleaning business and a racket. He squirts dirt on the windows and then offers to clean them. This works until he gets to Olive Oyl's stenographic office. There he finds that Popeye is already on the job of cleaning her windows. So they fight.
And that's it in this Fleischer studio Popeye. Usually there's a build-up to the violence, but it starts almost immediately here, and winds up with Bluto beating up Olive Oyl. This is the only movie in which he does that, and it's shocking and unfunny, even as the variety of ways that Bluto and Popeye beat each other up on the close-packed skyscrapers continues to astonish.
