"Robot Popeye" is a 1961 Popeye the Sailor episode.
Plot[]
Brutus buys a patented Mechanical Man (who looks like Popeye) to cause havoc and friction between Popeye and Olive. Walking the street, Popeye says hello to the Mechanical Man, but he is confused. First, the Mechanical Man helps Wimpy at the Rough House Cafe. Eventually, Popeye is kicked out of Olive's house after being framed, he sees his double, and gets his revenge on Brutus. He turns the knobs of the controls so the mechanical monster proceeds to get Brutus. Finally, Olive, Popeye and the latter's mechanical lookalike have dinner together.
