Seein' Red, White 'N' Blue
Seein' Red, White 'N' Blue is a 1943 American propaganda cartoon short featuring Popeye The Sailor, and was directed by Dan Gordon and Jim Tyer.

Plot
While Bluto is busy at work as the towns blacksmith, he receives a letter calling him for his draft service in the Navy. Bluto is very reluctant to join in and pretends to be ill. Popeye, who works at the draft bureau, is suspicious and sends a female dummy in to create an enthusiastic reaction from him. Even though his trick works, Bluto still refuses to join the Navy. In a desperate effort to get an exemption, Bluto jumps out of the window, with Popeye running to the base floor to catch him. They both crash deep into the ground, in fact so deep that Satan himself asks them to leave Hell.
