An order Scrooge receives from Ireland turns out to have a surprise stowaway in it; a mischievous thieving leprechaun named Far Daric. He makes no delay in trying to pilfer some of Scrooge's money, but finds himself in danger of being run over. Scrooge saves his life -- having chased after the thief -- and Far Daric is forced to grant Scrooge's wish, as per the customs of his people. Scrooge, Launchpad, the triplets and Webby fly to Ireland, and after an initially rough reception at the Leprechaun King's Castle, are welcomed to a party. Here, Scrooge reveals his wish; to be given the contents of the Golden Caverns, the sacred storage for all the treasures of all leprechauns.

He makes no delay in trying to pilfer some of Scrooge's money, but finds himself in danger of being run over.

Here, Scrooge reveals his wish; to be given the contents of the Golden Caverns, the sacred storage for all the treasures of all leprechauns.
Naturally, the King is furious, and though he can't openly defy Scrooge, he commands Far Daric stop him. When an effort to scare the ducks away by enlisting two ghosts fails, Far Daric and the King have no choice but to lead Scrooge to the Golden Caverns -- although the King commands that Scrooge either be made to leave the money behind, or entombed with it. Finding that the cavern is too deep for him to have a hope of climbing out with any riches at his age, Scrooge makes plans to come back with the resources to get the money. Having saved Far Daric from falling to his death, he wishes for Far Daric to leave alone a handkerchief he uses to mark the bush that conceals the caverns' entry.
Reluctantly, Far Daric agrees. And then, once Scrooge has left, he and a bunch of other leprechauns rig up a boulder trap to seal Scrooge and his family inside when they return for the treasure. On his way back, Far Daric meets Webby, who innocently offers him some tokens of affection and explains that he has her friendship. Breaking down in guilt, Far Daric enlists the innocent duckling in a plan.
The next day, Scrooge and company find that Webby and Far Daric have placed handkerchiefs on every bush in the entire forest. Although Scrooge rages at first, Far Daric decides to show him what would have happened had it not been for Webby's kindness, triggering the trap and burying the Golden Caverns. Shocked back to his senses at how close he brought his family to death, Scrooge apologizes for letting his greed get the best of him.
