[edit] Plot

Popeye, Olive Oyl and Wimpy, who are shipwrecked, land on an island inhabited by unfriendly American Indians. The final gag shows Popeye punching out the Indian chief, causing him to lose his outfit and become another type of Indian, Mahatma Gandhi.

[edit] Notes

I Yam What I Yam is the second Popeye cartoon; the first entry, Popeye the Sailor, was released as a Betty Boop cartoon.[1]

This is the first cartoon in which Bonnie Poe voices Olive Oyl.[citation needed]

This cartoon is available on DVD in the four-disc set Popeye the Sailor: 1933-1938, Volume 1.
