The episode begins with a scene familiar to fans of the 1987 Ducktales animated series, with Scrooge McDuck diving into his enormous money bin. The emoji Scrooge wears his signature top hat and coat, and he jumps into a pile of gold coins with a big grin on his face.
From there, each scene features the main characters, including Huey, Dewey, and Louie, as well as Launchpad McQuack, Gyro Gearloose, and Mrs. Beakley. Fans of the classic show will recognize many of the plots and storylines.

Throughout the episode, fans of the classic show will appreciate the attention to detail. The scenes closely mirror moments from the original Ducktales series, from Scrooge's famous money bin to his cane and top hat. Even the settings of the episodes are carefully recreated, from the African savannah to the Amazon rainforest.
The emoji characters are drawn with colorful, cartoonish graphics that will appeal to both children and adults. They convey a lot of emotion despite their simplicity, and their reactions add humor to the scenes.
Some scenes also feature familiar duck foes, including the Beagle Boys and the villainous Magica De Spell. In these scenes, the emojis take on darker hues, with shadows and ominous music adding a sense of danger to the otherwise lighthearted episode.
The episode ends with a classic Ducktales moment, with Scrooge and his group riding through the skies on the back of Launchpad's plane. The emoji characters wave goodbye to viewers as the credits roll, capping off another fun-filled, nostalgic adventure.
