In this fun and nostalgic short, Popeye takes his nephews to a museum and shares one of his greatest tales: the day he defeated the infamous Sindbad the Sailor, who tried to kidnap Olive Oyl! Through flashbacks and classic gags, Popeye proves once again that with enough spinach, no villain stands a chance.

This animated classic has been remastered in 4K, offering enhanced visual quality. The updated version allows audiences to experience Popeye’s golden-age adventure in stunning clarity while preserving its original charm.
