Surely leprechauns are cute little fellows who do no harm to anyone? Be warned! They are nasty little creatures, just waiting for the chance to trick someone and gain power over them. When Jimmy meets up with one of them, very strange things start to happen. But how can he get rid of him? Does Grandfather have the answer? Can they trap this clever little fellow and outwit him?
