A whimsical, warmly comic Irish fantasy about an old caretaker's magical encounters with leprechauns, built entirely on charm, humor, and the promise of love and good fortune.

A wily old codger matches wits with the King of the Leprechauns and helps play matchmaker for his daughter and the strapping lad who has replaced him as caretaker.
