Plot summary
Sindbad the Sailor lives on an island filled with creatures he caught on his voyages, and sings that no sailor, adventurer or lover in the world can match him. Popeye sails within earshot, singing his own song, with Olive Oyl and J. Wellington Wimpy aboard. Sindbad sends his giant roc to seize Olive Oyl and smash the ship, so Popeye and Wimpy swim ashore. Sindbad intends to make Olive his trophy wife, and Popeye's arrival stops that. The island's master then sets trials for the one-eyed sailor to prove who is greater. Wimpy chases a duck with a meat grinder.
