The film opens on Scrooge, Launchpad, Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby arriving at a dig site where Scrooge's diggers have found a map to a treasure Scrooge has been seeking for forty years - the treasure of Collie Baba and his 40 Thieves. Unbeknownst to them, Dijon, a digger with a severe case of kleptomania, is working for an evil sorcerer named Merlock, who is also seeking the treasure so that he can get his hands on a magic lamp that Collie Baba stole from him so long ago. Just as Scrooge and company find the treasure, Merlock steals it right from under their beaks. However, before he could do that, Webby found the lamp Merlock was seeking, which Scrooge allowed her to keep as a toy for her tea party set. Thus, Scrooge and company end up coming home with the very thing Merlock was looking for.

Back in Duckburg, the kids discover that the lamp contains a fun-loving genie, who disguises himself as a kid like them and grants their wishes without Scrooge knowing. Scrooge eventually finds out about the genie, and soon wishes for Collie Baba's treasure to be brought to his mansion so that he can finally brag about it to his patrons in the Archaeological Society. Unfortunately, Merlock and Dijon are still on the hunt for the genie, and they know that Scrooge has it...

 

 

----

* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: While infiltrating the money bin, Webby has to crawl through the air vent into the security room and then open the door for the boys.

* [[Animation Bump]]: This movie features some of the most beautiful non-cinematic Disney animation of the early 1990s.

*** Hey, just because one is immortal doesn't mean that a thousand-foot fall wouldn't ''hurt like hell''!

*** Remember when Genie's Lamp disintegrated and Dijon turned back to normal? I'd say that hitting the ground is the ''least'' of Merlock's problems. Basically {{spoiler|he probably died of ''extreme old age'' long before he hit the ground.}}

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Merlock loves indulging in these.

* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: Merlock.

* [[Freeing the Genie]]: Scrooge uses his last wish to have Genie [[Become a Real Boy]].

* [[Goofy Print Underwear]]

* [[Laser Hallway]]: Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby have to go through one of these in the Money Bin.

* [[Living Forever Is Awesome]]: The nephews have this opinion about Merlock's first wish. The Genie has to point out to them that when you're as evil and insane as Merlock is, immortality is ''not'' a good attribute.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: When Dijon finds the lamp, Genie dissuades him from giving it to Merlock by pointing out that Dijon could wish for a fortune of his own. {{spoiler|As Genie mournfully tells Scrooge later on; "I didn't know he'd wish for ''your'' fortune!"}}

* [[Non-Serial Movie]]: The events of the film are never mentioned again in the series, although Scrooge recognizes Dijon when he appears in two episodes that aired shortly after the film's release.
