 Popeye s nephews are touring a museum of nautical history (only three of them, for some reason). They come to a statue of Sindbad, the world s greatest sailor, and ask Popeye to explain, since *he* is supposed to be the world s greatest sailor. He explains by telling the story of the time he met Sindbad, as seen in part of the earlier short _Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor (1936)_ (qv). Inspired by his tale, the nephews adjust the statue.
