Plot

Tommy and Ethel Barridge, the two children of multi-millionaire American businessman Henry Barridge, are sent to Ireland to spend their summer holiday with Laura Duvann, a woman who is engaged to him. However, they find out that she’s actually a banshee with very strong black magic powers who acts ill-tempered and very disrespectful towards them (mainly towards Tommy). Laura is busy cutting down trees on her estate and is also planning the destruction of the last king of the little people, or leprechauns. Tommy and Ethel take their father’s side and also have to figure out a plan to save their new friend, Finn Regan McCool (Finn for short) the leprechaun from their evil stepmother-to be and her estate company.
