What is the meaning of fright to the finish?

A fight that doesn �t end until one person dies is called a "fight to the finish" (often used figuratively, too), so the title of this episode of Popeye (which, by the way, is pronounced Pop-eye in English. I know that in Spanish people pronounce it Po-pe-ye, as if it were a Spanish word. I don �t know about Portuguese) is a play on words - Fright to the finish.
 
Spook is a colloquial word for ghost.
