Stephen Fitzgerald (Tyrone Power), a newspaper reporter from New York, meets a leprechaun (Cecil Kellaway) and a beautiful young woman (Anne Baxter) while traveling in Ireland. When he returns to his fiancée (Jayne Meadows) and her wealthy father (Lee J. Cobb) in the midst of a political campaign in New York, he finds that the leprechaun and the young woman are now in the big city as well. Stephen is torn between the wealth he might enjoy in New York or returning to his roots in Ireland.
