The Spinach Overture plot

Popeye's ensemble rehearses the opening of the Poet and Peasant Overture (with interpolations of the Popeye theme and nautical tunes). Maestro Bluto comes from next door to conduct and play violin, and Popeye shows up. Popeye plays terribly until he discovers the undiscovered artistic benefits of spinach.
