* AdaptationalHeroism: Downplayed. Gladstone's ''[=DuckTales=]'' incarnation isn't as self-centered and smug as the comics version. Instead of gloating about his luck to his relatives, his flaw is relying on his luck to solve all his problems.

* BornLucky: Gladstone Gander, whose luck goes to absolutely ridiculous extremes. He revels in his luck, knowing everything is coming to him without any effort. His luck is actually weaponized by Magica De Spell in order to bypass Scrooge's security system. Despite being hypnotized into stealing it he is still cursed due to using his luck for evil and is instead saddled with bad luck. Naturally, but the end of the episode he gets his luck back and refuses to learn his {{aesop}} about relying on luck for everything.

Magica takes advantage of Gladstone Gander's unusual luck to steal Scrooge's NumberOneDime and then curses his luck. Can Gladstone and Scrooge get the luck and the dime back?
!!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
* AlliterativeName: '''G'''ladstone '''G'''ander.
* AntiAdvice: Scrooge teams up with Gladstone Gander, whose luck has been supernaturally cursed. Scrooge exploits this by asking Gladstone which direction to go, then heading the opposite way.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Magica De Spell actually looks pretty attractive when she transforms into "Vanna Flight"
* ShoutOut:
** Gladstone hums a line of "[[GuysAndDolls Luck Be a Lady]]."
** Magica, plotting to use the dime to make herself rich, says, "[[LordOfTheRings One dime to rule them all!]]"
** [[RuleOfThree Again]], Gladstone and Scrooge have this discussion in Magica's lair.
