(John Sanderford), and his spoiled daugherter Tory (Jennifer Aniston)buy the O'Grady's old house, not knowing what is locked in a crate in the basement. Also there are three painters: Nathan, his brother Alex, and Alex's dim friend Ozzie. That afternoon Ozzie and Alex find the Leprechaun's gold, and Ozzie accidentally releases Leprechaun from his crate and he immediately goes on a killing spree and terrorizes the four friends, trying to get his missing gold coin back.
