Popeye Season 2 Episode 8 Tops in the Big Top

In Popeye season 2 episode 8, titled "Tops in the Big Top", Popeye and Olive Oyl are at the circus watching various performers. As they watch a tightrope walker, Olive Oyl expresses her desire to also perform in the circus. Popeye encourages her to try, but she is too scared.

Just then, a clown named Wimpy approaches them and offers to help Olive Oyl become a circus performer. He takes them to meet the owner of the circus, who agrees to let Olive Oyl perform if she can pass an audition. The audition requires her to perform a series of acrobatic stunts and tricks on a trapeze.

Olive Oyl is nervous, but Wimpy helps to boost her confidence by convincing her that her natural grace and athleticism make her perfect for the trapeze. As she begins her audition, Popeye watches nervously from the sidelines, worried that Olive Oyl might fall or hurt herself.

Despite a few missteps, Olive Oyl impresses the owner with her skills and is offered a job in the circus. She is ecstatic about the opportunity to perform and excitedly heads off to join the rest of the performers. Popeye and Wimpy watch her from the stands, cheering her on.

As Olive Oyl starts her first performance, things go smoothly until a group of mischievous monkeys escape from their cage and start causing chaos in the circus tent. The monkeys steal props, knock over stands, and generally wreak havoc on the performers and audience.

Popeye and Wimpy rush to help, but the monkeys are too fast for them. Just as all seems lost, Olive Oyl comes up with a clever plan to lure the monkeys away using some of the circus' equipment. With the monkeys out of the way, the performers are able to finish their acts and the audience is thrilled.

After the show, Olive Oyl is hailed as a hero for her quick thinking and bravery. The owner of the circus is so impressed that he offers her a permanent job as the chief acrobat. She happily accepts, and Popeye and Wimpy congratulate her on her success.

The episode ends with Olive Oyl performing a new acrobatic routine, while Popeye and Wimpy watch proudly from the stands. The circus is once again peaceful and joyous, thanks to Olive Oyl's bravery and quick thinking in the face of trouble.
