April North Self Defense

 

It seems that April North of the Popeye cartoon "Never Kick a Woman" has been bound and gagged in the nude.

Never Kick a Woman is Popeye's 37th theatrical cartoon, produced by Fleischer Studios and released on August 30, 1936.

Popeye and Olive are watching through a sporting goods store window. Inside April North, the athletic saleswoman (a Mae West caricature) is throwing punches at a speed bag, displaying her well-built shape. Popeye insists Olive should learn the art of self defense, and they go in. Popeye demonstrates some boxing moves and, while Olive trains, the blonde sporting-goods lady begins to flirt with the Sailorman. Ms. Oyl notices this and a catfight ensues, with Olive soon beaten to the ground by the athletic woman. Yet she manages to crawl near Popeye's spinach can and, upon gulping down the greens, launches into a rematch with her adversary, who is soon trounced. Popeye then receives his own dose of punches, until Olive calms down.
