In 1983, an evil and violent leprechaun (Warwick Davis) is sealed away early in the film by Daniel O’Grady, who had stolen a bag of one hundred gold coins from the little green man, but ultimately paid the price when the Leprechaun scared his wife into falling down a flight of stairs. O’Grady manages to seal the Leprechaun away in his basement by placing a four-leaf clover on a crate, which negates the Leprechaun’s magic and renders him defenseless. O’Grady attempts to incinerate him, but has a stroke and collapses after screaming “Burn in Hell, you little green bastard!” before he can light a fire. He is later taken to a nursing home, leaving the Leprechaun in the crate.

Ten years later, a man named J.D. Redding (John Sanderford) and his daughter, Tory Redding (Jennifer Aniston) move into the same isolated house, its history unknown to them. Three painters, Nathan Murphy, his eleven-year-old brother, Alex Murphy, and Alex’s slightly autistic friend, Ozzie, also accompany them. Ozzie hears the Leprechaun’s cries for help in the basement and unknowingly releases him. The Leprechaun then asks him to tell where the gold is or he’ll bite his ear off and make a boot out of it. Ozzie runs away, and attempts to warn the others that there is a leprechaun in the house, but, of course, this falls upon deaf ears.

Later, Alex and Ozzie spot a rainbow above an old truck near the house, which is where O’Grady hid the Leprechaun’s gold. Ozzie, biting a coin to determine its authenticity, accidentally swallows it. Alex urges Ozzie to keep quiet about the finding, thinking that he can use the money to fund a brain operation for his friend. The Leprechaun, meanwhile, bites J.D.’s hand while hiding in a tree, though the group was convinced that it was a cat. J.D. is hospitalized; while the rest are with J.D., Alex and Ozzie take one of the coins to a pawn shop owner, who keeps it for further analysis. When the two leave, the Leprechaun sneaks into the store, retrieves his coin, and kills the shop owner by cruelly crushing his chest and stomach while hopping on him with a pogo stick.
On his way back to the house, the Leprechaun is pulled over by Deputy Tribet, which leads him to scratch up the officer’s face, throw away his gun, chase him through the woods, and kill him when he snaps his neck. As he arrives at his destination, looking for the bag of gold, he does several odd things, which includes eating a store brand version of Lucky Charms called Lucky Clovers, screaming when he sees himself in a mirror, and polishing the shoes that were in a closet.
