Spooky Swabs is a Popeye theatrical cartoon short, starring Jack Mercer as Popeye and Mae Questel as Olive Oyl. Produced by Paramount Cartoon Studios (formerly Famous Studios) and directed by Isadore Sparber, it was released in 1957 and is the 230th and final cartoon in the Popeye series of theatrical cartoons released by Paramount Pictures.

Plot

The story involves Popeye and Olive on a life raft playing checkers. They see a ship adrift, thinking they are rescued. But the ship is haunted, deserted, and has a crew of ghosts with English accents (voiced by Mercer) who do not like the idea of returning to civilization, so they wreak havoc on Popeye and Olive. While Popeye is hiding in the ship's galley to avoid a mob of sword-wielding ghosts, he sees a jar of "ye king's spinach". When Popeye consumes the spinach, he becomes invisible, allowing him to punch the ghosts flat and Olive to sew them together to create a new sail. Popeye and Olive then sail off in the sunset as the short ends - and the cartoon series with it.
