Popeye haircut

"Hair Cut-Ups" is a 1960 episode of Popeye the Sailor.

Plot[]

Popeye takes Swee'Pea to the barber for a haircut, but the boy is too scared and will not remove his hat. Popeye tells him the story of Samson, the man who believed he got his strength from his long hair. Another man (resembling Brutus), who thought he was the strongest, challenged Samson to a test of strength which Samson won. The loser then decided to try and cut Samson's hair so that he would be deprived of his might. He posed as a female hairstylist and tricked Samson into letting "her" work on his hair, but he actually cut it and robbed him of his strength.
