An American businessman, Jack Woods (Randy Quaid), ostensibly wants to spend a calm holiday in the sleepy Irish town Kerry and rents a little cottage there. He is overworked and wants to use his holiday to relax. During a hike, he sees Irish beauty Kathleen Fitzpatrick (Orla Brady) swimming naked. Kathleen catches him and chases him off, but Jack is smitten with her beauty. That evening, Jack tries to drown his sorrows in Irish whisky, when he has an encounter with an invisible leprechaun. They struggle for the bottle of whisky, and Jack falls, knocking himself unconscious. The next morning, he sees the little man again and chases him to a nearby river, where the leprechaun falls in. Jack jumps in after him, saving his life (because water is the only thing that can kill the immortal leprechauns), then Seamus Muldoon (Colm Meaney), the saved leprechaun, becomes Jack’s new friend. Seamus introduces Jack to his wife Mary (Zoë Wanamaker) and his son, Mickey (Daniel Betts), and shows him the mystical world of the leprechauns.
The “solitary fairies” (which includes leprechauns) are a happy people, who love to play tricks on others—most of all on the snobbish “trooping” fairies. The leprechauns and the trooping fairies have been enemies for ages, but the Grand Banshee (Whoopi Goldberg) has decreed that they must stop fighting each other. Jack gets used to the little people he shares the house with, because they help him to get to know Kathleen.
While out taking photographs of the houses in this sleepy town, Jack comes upon Kathleen hanging out her laundry and playing with her dog. He accidentally takes a picture of her and she sicks her four brothers on him. He runs away, finally taking refuge in a church. Later, Jack offers to drive Kathleen’s cart for her in a beach race because she’s not allowed to on account of her gender. Jack wins and convinces Kathleen to take him on a tour of the local environs. While on their walk together, they share a kiss.
Meanwhile Micky, along with his friends Sean Devine (Tony Curran) and the brothers Jericho (Kevin McKidd) and Barney O’Grady (Kieran Culkin) sneak into a masked party in the flying castle of the trooping fairies. There Mickey sees the pretty fairy-princess, Jessica (Caroline Carver), the daughter of the fairy-king Boric (Roger Daltrey) and queen Morag (Harriet Walter). Jessica eventually finds out that Mickey is a leprechaun, but they have already fallen in love. Jessica’s cousin, Count Grogan (Jonathan Firth), discovers their presence, and the leprechauns flee.
