In the sun-drenched, perilous depths of a forgotten Egyptian pyramid, billionaire miser Scrooge McDuck, his adventurous grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and their eager web-footed friend Webby unearth the ultimate prize: the hidden treasure of Collie Baba. Among the glittering gold and ancient artifacts lies a seemingly unassuming brass oil lamp. Desperate to find riches to bolster his vast fortune, Scrooge dismisses the dusty trinket as worthless junk, prompting him to carelessly hand it over to the boys as a mere plaything.Back in Duckburg, the children soon discover the lamp's astonishing secret. When Webby rubs the brass surface to clean it, a colossal, wisecracking blue genie emerges, possessing the magical ability to grant infinite wishes. The ecstatic kids use their newfound power to create a menagerie of exotic pets and indulge in endless luxuries. However, their joy is short-lived when the evil, power-hungry sorcerer Merlock—who originally lost the artifact centuries ago—surfaces with his shape-shifting, sycophantic sidekick, Dijon. Driven by an insatiable desire to conquer the world, Merlock tracks the lamp to Scrooge’s mansion, launching a ruthless campaign of theft and intimidation.When Dijon manages to steal the lamp, Merlock seizes control of the magic, instantly banishing Scrooge’s fortune and seizing the mansion. Framed for crimes they did not commit and reduced to penniless outcasts, Scrooge and the kids find themselves hunted by the authorities and outmatched by dark sorcery. Driven by desperation and a fierce protective instinct, Scrooge refuses to surrender, rallying his family for a high-stakes, desperate counterattack against the sorcerer’s stronghold.The climax explodes into chaos as Scrooge confronts Merlock in a breathtaking aerial showdown aboard a crumbling flying fortress. During the chaotic struggle, the genie uses his final, trick-laden wish—prompted by a clever scheme from the children—to strip Merlock of his magical talisman. Deprived of his supernatural powers, the villain plummets to his doom, while Dijon narrowly escapes. With the crisis averted and their good names restored, Scrooge faces a poignant choice when the genie reveals he can now live as a normal mortal boy. Scrooge selflessly uses his final command to grant the genie total freedom. Though the billionaire loses his chance at endless wishes, he realizes that family and true freedom are worth far more than any ancient treasure, ending their grand adventure with a newfound warmth and unity.
