Synopsis: After sinking numerous enemy ships, Popeye is granted a month’s furlough which he hopes to spend at Olive Oyl’s house. But she takes off and leaves him with his nephews who are practicing their home defense skills.

Cartoon Cats: One of the nephews paints numerous items in the yard with camouflage paint which basically makes things invisible. We see a black cat drinking milk from a bowl, only her body has been painted and is invisible.
