Gopher Spinach
About Gopher Spinach
Popeye finishes planting a spinach bed and watches the plants disappear. A gopher is taking them. Traps fail. Popeye fetches a shotgun, cannot bring himself to shoot, and throws the gun away. It hits a bull. The bull chases Popeye. The gopher, spared earlier, eats spinach, stops the bull, and then digs holes while Popeye replants.
