Synopsis
The Sea Hag tries to enlist Popeye's aid in tracking down the legendary huge white whale. Popeye gets to like the whale, and the Sea Hag has her vulture carry Popeye off. The vulture drops Popeye from a great height, and he accidentally falls into the sleeping whale's mouth. Here, he finds the Seaman's Orphanage Treasury that was lost at sea. The Sea Hag was really after this. With the help of his spinach, Popeye returns the money to the orphanage.

Production notes
King Features had no cartoon studios, so Popeye storyboards were produced in its offices, while animation was divided between Paramount/Famous Studios, Larry Harmon Productions, Total TV Productions, Gene Deitch/Rembrandt Studios, Halas and Batchelor and Jack Kinney Productions.
Of those stations which bought the King Features Popeye cartoons in 1960, 90% renewed their contracts in 1965.
Note the change in the villain's name… from Bluto to Brutus.
Closing song:

When I eat my spinach,
there's a whale of a finish,
says Popeye the Sailor Man.
