Even though it's not as manic as his later work either at Paramount or Terrytoons, Jim Tyer has a great scene from 4:34 to 5:08 with Popeye tying Shorty up and then the cop's expressions at being repeatedly bashed in the head by the falling furniture.
The certificate numbers on all three Shorty cartoons are pretty close together, which indicates that the stories all were done up roughly at the same time the studio was getting set to relocate from Miami to New York. So this one was likely shelved for a little while after Dan Gordon left the studio, and finished up in New York (which explains why Stang was available to do Shorty's voice here, after Mercer handled the role in the first two shorts done in Miami).
Jack Mercer and Arnold Stang provide the voices (there's no voice for Olive, as they were inbetween Margie Hines' departure and the return of Mae Questel); Sammy Timberg provides the delightful music score...nice "loose" animation by Jim Tyer, who later moved on to Paul Terry's studio in New Rochelle.
With a 'friend' like Shorty, Popeye's better off with enemies.

I do believe that's the same officer from "Cops is Always Right"...poor fellow should switch to a different beat.
