I Dream of Jeannie: My Hero (1965) (TV)

Synopsis [spoilers]: Jeannie tells Tony that she was beaten by a man. He demands to see the man. She then transports them back in time to Persia. Tony wants to go back to the present time, but Jeannie pays no heed to him and takes him to the man who beat her, a very strong man who promises to break his neck. Tony flees and comes across a slave auction, where he is stopped and put for sale; he is sold to a princess, who happens to be the strong man's employer. Tony is taken to a dungeon where the strong man threatens to torture him unless he reveals Jeannie's whereabouts. Meanwhile Jeannie meets her parents and tells them she has found a prospective husband; by the local customs, when a man stands up to defend a girl, it means he is proposing to marry her. Jeannie fetches Tony from the torture chamber, but when he refuses to marry her, she blinks him back to his torturer; this happens several times. Jeannie finally agrees to take Tony back to present times. Roger shows up at Tony's and tells him they missed him at the test he was supposed to be at; he sets up a double date with Tony for that evening. Jeannie is jealous and strips him shirtless in front of the dates.

Saw it dubbed in Portuguese.
