By the time of Dead Man's Chest, Captain Jack Sparrow owes a debt to Davy Jones for raising the Black Pearl from the depths, in return for his soul. Jack must race to pay off this debt or forfeit his soul for a hundred years. Davy Jones also has the soul of "Bootstrap Bill" Turner given to him in exhange for saving Bootstrap's life.

Davy has a treasure, the Dead Man's Chest, which Jack must get hold of in order to exchange it for his soul. In the cheast is Davy Jones' heart, carved from his body by Davy himself because his lover left him and he considered the pain of it to be too great a weakness. In turn Davy dedicated himself to inflicting as much cruelty and pain to others as possible.

Davy Jones is practically invincible as long as his heart survives. but should Davy Jones die, all who traded their souls to him would be free and return to their original forms (Which would be, since they were near death when they joined Dayv Jones, instant death).

Davy Jones survives the events of Dead Man's Chest undefeated, but thinks he is dying believing his heart to have been eaten along with Jack by the Kraken.

A digital Davy Jones on a mist screen has been added to the cavern between the treasure and battle scenes of the original Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland as part of that attraction's 2006 refurbishment.
