History[]
DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp[]
In the beginning of the film, Dijon works for the wealthy adventurer Scrooge McDuck as a hired guide to find the magic Lamp inside an ancient Middle Eastern pyramid belonged to the mythical thief Collie Baba, but Dijon is actually in service to his villainous master Merlock, who wants to reclaim the magic lamp stolen from him by Collie Baba so that he can recombine the lamp with his green magic talisman for himself once more. For much of the film, Dijon plays the role of comic-relief villain, with a running gag being the frequent loss of his pants.
Later in the film, Dijon obtains the lamp and becomes Gene the Genie's new master (on Gene's suggestion, as he does not want to be taken back to Merlock), then wishes for Scrooge's Money Bin to be in his possession. When Scrooge finds Dijon in the Money Bin and confronts him about Gene, Dijon summons the bin's security guards to eject Scrooge from the premises. After Merlock puts the talisman on the lamp, he notices Dijon under the rug and wishes for Genie to turn the poor thief into a pig before later wishing that gene the genie transform the Money Bin into Merlock's creepy flying palace. He is later turned back to normal after Merlock's defeat.
