action
On Sinbad Island, the largest monsters defeated the sailors in his tours and has taken home life. Everyone recognizes him as the greatest seafarer and the most remarkable and extraordinary person. Sindbad can calm the roaring lions guarding his palace with a slap in the face, he brings the two-headed giant Boola to reason with a punch, and the giant bird of prey Roch does not rebel against him either.
While Sindbad is still singing that he is the greatest seafarer of all time, he hears Popeye singing in the distance that he is again the greatest. Popeye is on his small ship with Olivia and J. Wellington Wimpy. Sindbad instructs Roch to destroy the ship and bring him Olivia. A short time later, Olivia is in his power and the ship sunk.
Popeye brought Wimpy safely to the island of Sindbads. While Wimpy chases a duck with a meat grinder , Popeye begins to rescue Olivia. First he prepares Roch for a roast chicken in a nearby volcano and knocks out Boola. In the end there is a duel between Popeye and Sindbad, which Popeye wins by taking additional spinach . The island's animals now recognize Popeye as the greatest seafarer.
