| | Next, Bluto lets a black cat into the house, which causes Olive to freak out and run away when she sees it. The skeptical Popeye believes it is harmless and tries to allay Olive's fears about black cats, but its attempt on Olive's goldfish ends with the goldfish bowl over her head by accident when Popeye gets the bowl out of the way. After Popeye sends the cat on its way by giving it directions to a nearby fish market, he then takes a mirror to show Olive how silly she looks with the goldfish bowl on her head. Upon seeing this from outside, Bluto pulls another prank by pulling the rug out from under Popeye's feet and making him break the mirror over Olive's head. After telling him that breaking a mirror means seven years of bad luck, Olive kicks Popeye out of the house and tells him she never wants to see him again. Bluto then comes along and reveals to Popeye the fact that it is really Thursday the 12th, and his offer to go on a date with Olive is accepted after he tells her the true date (while conveniently omitting the pranks he pulled to play on her superstitious nature), causing Popeye to twirl his pipe in anger as he discovers his rival's treachery. | | Next, Bluto lets a black cat into the house, which causes Olive to freak out and run away when she sees it.

| − | Popeye quickly plans his revenge by planting a "lucky" horseshoe to magnet Bluto away and trap him under a ladder, which Popeye then points out to him is bad luck. Bluto loses it and attempts to run away with the ladder, but Popeye grabs the ladder and plants his foe onto a crate of dynamite. Taking advantage of Bluto's own superstitious nature, Popeye also mimics the unlucky move of using a single match to light three cigars - or three of the dynamite sticks, in this case. Bluto is sent flying when the dynamite explodes, then Popeye, after eating his [[spinach]], breaks the bully's fall with a mighty punch that sends him crashing into a coin-operated fortune-telling machine/weight scale, which deposits a card that announces to the defeated Bluto: "Today is your lucky day!". As Popeye and Olive walk off and he continues explaining to her about the folly of superstitions, she laughs at his own display of superstition when he realizes that they passed on either side of a telephone pole and he goes back around Olive's side of the pole while saying "bread and butter". | + | Popeye quickly plans his revenge by planting a "lucky" horseshoe to magnet Bluto away and trap him under a ladder, which Popeye then points out to him is bad luck.
