Based upon "Uncle Scrooge" and other Duck universe comic books created by Carl Barks, the show follows Scrooge McDuck, his three grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and close friends of the group, on various adventures, most of which either involve seeking out treasure or thwarting the efforts of villains seeking to steal Scrooge's fortune or his Number One Dime.

In 1987, The Walt Disney Company tried its luck at syndication; "DuckTales" went on the air that September and lasted 100 episodes. The success of "DuckTales" paved the way for a second series two years later, "Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers". The following year, the two shows aired together under the umbrella title "The Disney Afternoon". In 1991, Disney added another hour; the block aired in syndication until 1999.
