A year after Popeye was matched vs. Sindbad, the sailor met "Ali Baba & His 40 Thieves", except that in the context of the story, Ali Baba's name has been changed to Abu Hassan (Gus Wickie). I've lost track of how many times I'd seen this in syndication in the 70's & 80's.
An excerpt from this was used to open WPIX's 1970's Popeye broadcasts for a time. If you're from my generation, you'll recognize it right away.
