What is the plot?

The film opens with a battered statuette of a small, bearded man being sold into a Las Vegas pawn shop. When the shop clerk removes a medallion from the figure, the object snaps back into living flesh; the Leprechaun immediately attacks, killing the clerk in the cluttered back room by slitting his throat and leaving the shop in a frenzy. He moves through the Strip hunting for one of his wish-granting gold coins, which has passed into the hands of oblivious tourists and locals. College student Scott McCoy encounters the creature as it slaughters in pursuit of its treasure; Scott and his new girlfriend, Tammy Larsen, improvise a defense when they corner the Leprechaun. They seize a flamethrower from a nearby attraction and pour flame onto the Leprechaun's hoarded gold. The coin glows and then vanishes, and the Leprechaun erupts into fire, screaming as the flames consume him; Scott and Tammy watch him burn until the creature collapses into charred remains.

The narrative jumps to Compton, California, where a different confrontation has already occurred. Mack Daddy O'Nassas, a local pimp who rises to success as a music producer, had previously rendered the Leprechaun into stone using a magical medallion and kept its gold and a mind-controlling magic flute in his possession. He uses the flute's power to build his empire and control performers. Years pass with the statue of the Leprechaun sealed away, until three aspiring rappers -- led by Postmaster P. -- break into Mack Daddy's stash to steal the gold and the flute, believing they can use them to leapfrog into stardom. In the course of the theft they unknowingly restore the Leprechaun to flesh and blood by removing the medallion from the statue. The Leprechaun resurrects, furious at the theft, and begins hunting everyone involved.

As the creature stalks the city, it tracks down each member of the thieves' circle. Mack Daddy pursues the trio to recover his property, and in the confrontation that follows the Leprechaun reclaims his gold. The creature kills Mack Daddy by impaling him on a discarded microphone stand during a fight in the studio, and he slaughters the rappers' friends with savage efficiency: one is crushed beneath falling studio racks, another is throttled in the alley behind the building, and a third is impaled on a set of hooks the Leprechaun swings from the rafters. Postmaster P., captured and forced to witness the carnage, succumbs not only to fear but to the flute's mind-bending song. The Leprechaun brainwashes Postmaster P. through the instrument, bending the young man into servitude; the rapper walks away from the bodies a hollow, obedient servant to the creature who has reclaimed both gold and control.

The scene shifts and opens on a rural church at night where a priest, Father Jacob, confronts the Leprechaun. The creature stalks the cleric, intent upon recovering another of its coins. Father Jacob answers with unconventional defenses: he laces holy water with four-leaf clovers and attacks the Leprechaun with the mixture. The Leprechaun attempts to fight back, but when Jacob splashes the clover-laced water, demonic hands erupt from the church floor and seize the creature, dragging it into the earth below. Jacob watches the Leprechaun dragged down and then collapses; he dies of a heart attack on the church steps as the congregation rushes toward the commotion.

One year after Father Jacob's death, eighteen-year-old Emily Woodrow and a group of friends discover a hidden cache containing the Leprechaun's coins. Emily opens a tin and finds several gleaming coins; she and her companions begin using the gold to fulfill their most extravagant desires. They throw parties, buy expensive clothing, and indulge in fantasies, unaware that each wish loosens the creature's hold on its prison. The Leprechaun awakens and sets out to recover every lost coin. He returns to Emily's neighborhood and begins killing anyone who stands between him and his gold. He ambushes and stabs one of Emily's friends during a backyard gathering, snapping the teenager's neck; he decapitates another who tries to run through a narrow corridor; he sets traps in alleyways that crush a third under falling beams.

Emily's boyfriend, Rory Jackson, attempts to protect her as the Leprechaun's body count rises. The pursuit escalates to the abandoned community center where Father Jacob had been constructing a rooftop garden using funds from the Leprechaun's hoard. Emily and Rory lure the Leprechaun to the roof and engage in a desperate struggle. Rory manages to wrest the creature's coin away from it and, together with Emily, they push both the Leprechaun and its gold over the edge of the roof. The pair watch as the creature and its glittering coin plummet into a shallow pool of wet cement below; the creature thrashes and screams, but the cement coagulates around him and he sinks, immobilized and trapped beneath the new slab.

The film then follows a group of four American college students on a study tour to rural Ireland. They are drawn to a monolithic stone at the site of a former mining village; locals regard the spot with a mixture of superstition and reluctance. While stopping at a pub, they befriend Hamish McConville, a genial local who greets them warmly and recounts a version of the village's history. Hamish explains that the area once extracted cavern-gold until the veins dried up, forcing the population to leave and leaving the village poor and desperate. He tells of rituals and offerings meant to placate the spirits connected to the gold. Hamish leads the students to a remote cabin where their transport leaves them to sleep; his pleasant demeanor relaxes them. Unseen at first, a brutal force begins to besiege the cabin during the night. Doors slam on their own, windows shatter inward, and an unseen presence stalks them through the dark.

As horror unfolds, the students discover that Hamish and his son Sean have been complicit in a local tradition: the villagers had been sacrificing outsiders to the Leprechaun in hopes of restoring their dwindling fortune. Hamish had been friendly only to ensure a steady supply of victims. The students realize they have been brought as offerings and attempt to escape; the Leprechaun, released by the villagers' rites, hunts them across bog and barrow. One by one, the creature corners them with savage ingenuity: it bisects one student by tossing a heavy mining pick from a shaft above, crushes another beneath a falling stone, and rips the throat out of a third with a hooked surgical tool stolen from the local shed. The survivors fight back; they set traps and use improvised weapons. In the final confrontation, Sophie, one of the students, fights the Leprechaun on the outskirts of the ruined mine. She stabs the creature through the chest with a rusted shaft and then drives its battered body into a collapsing shaft, where falling beams and the earth finally pin it: Sophie watches the Leprechaun die as the mine closes over him. Hamish, who had double-crossed the creature by directing it toward the students rather than sacrificing his own family, tries to flee but the Leprechaun, enraged at the betrayal, ambushes and kills him, tearing him apart in retribution for his deceit.

A later incident revisits the origin of the first Leprechaun in a small American town. Twenty-five years prior, Tory Redding and her friends barricade the creature in a well on the O'Grady estate after a violent confrontation at the O'Grady house where the Leprechaun had previously terrorized them in pursuit of his gold. In the present day, the original house, now marked with a local university's sorority emblem, again becomes the site of violence when Laila Jenkins, a university student and the daughter of Tory Redding, returns to move into the sorority house. Laila's mother, Tory, has died of cancer sometime before these events, and she left Laila stories and warnings about the creature that haunted their family. As Laila arrives at the property with a friend, Ozzie Jones, she drops her phone while unloading luggage. When she stoops to pick it up, a splash of green water erupts from the old well below and spits toward her; droplets of the water strike her and one is swallowed. The contact reawakens the sealed being below. The Leprechaun gestates and reforms inside Ozzie's body, and when it emerges it crumples his torso outward with a wet ripping sound, tearing out his organs and killing him instantly. The creature then appears at the sorority house and goes on a killing spree, slashing two sorority sisters in their beds and impaling two male visitors on ancient garden stakes. The remaining residents arm themselves and attempt to stop it; they stun the Leprechaun with a powerful electric shock by rigging the house's wiring to short-circuit and then douse it with accelerant. The creature ignites; the house erupts into an inferno, and the building explodes as flames consume the structure. Laila and Katie, another survivor, flee the wreckage and drive back toward the university campus, believing they have left the threat behind. However, while the charred shell smolders, the Leprechaun's reconstituted form shambles from the debris, his injuries sealed by some inhuman vitality. He flags down a passing truck on a lonely highway and climbs into the cab, telling the bewildered driver he is bound for Bismarck, North Dakota.

Intermittent to these main episodes, small ancillary details appear: a comic-book prequel released before the original film presents a contradictory backstory in which Daniel O'Grady obtains the Leprechaun's gold by following a rainbow rather than by capturing the creature. That account contradicts the established record but appears only in peripheral material and does not alter the series of violent events that follow.

Across the sequence of incidents, the Leprechaun repeatedly regains his freedom whenever some human removes his sealing medallion or otherwise disturbs his hoard; in every return he pursues his gold with ruthless focus and uses violence in service of that single objective. Victims are numerous: the pawn-shop clerk in Las Vegas is killed the night the medallion comes off; Mack Daddy and several studio associates die when the creature takes back his treasure; Postmaster P.'s friends are slaughtered as part of the Compton rampage; Father Jacob dies of a heart attack after delivering the clover-laced holy water defense; Emily's companions are butchered as they squander the coins they find; Rory and Emily immobilize the creature in wet cement at the community center roof; Sophie slays the Leprechaun by driving him into a collapsing mine shaft in Ireland after Hamish's betrayal is revealed; Tory's former friends and the sorority residents are killed when the Leprechaun escapes the O'Grady well, including Ozzie, whose torso is ripped apart; and the creature survives apparent immolation more than once, escaping the exploded sorority house to continue his journey north.

Motivations run consistent and pragmatic among the human characters: Scott and Tammy fight to survive and to end the rampage that begins in Las Vegas; Mack Daddy seeks to profit by exploiting the Leprechaun's magic; Postmaster P. and his friends steal the treasure to accelerate their careers; Father Jacob dedicates himself to combating what he perceives as a demonic force; Emily and her friends chase fantasy and instant gratification when they use the coins; Sophie and the American students in Ireland travel to study and are instead forced to fight for their lives; Tory's original barricade is meant to protect her family; Laila returns to the house out of familial obligation and ignorance of the latent threat. Across the episodes, relationships shift under pressure: Scott and Tammy form a bond in crisis; Postmaster P. transforms from leader to puppet; Emily depends on Rory to stop the creature; Sophie survives by outlasting and outwitting her tormentors; Laila must reconcile her mother's warnings with her own survival instincts.

In the final chronological scene the Leprechaun, having been subjected to repeated defeats and apparent deaths -- burned in Las Vegas, trapped in cement in the community center, shoved into a mine shaft in Ireland, and blasted in a sorority house fire -- nonetheless reconstitutes himself and moves on. He lifts his bulk into the cab of a truck on a desolate highway, his face a grinning, regenerating mask, and he tells the trucker where he is headed. The film closes with that driver unaware of the immediate peril as the truck and its grotesque passenger disappear down the road toward Bismarck, leaving the question of the creature's next victims unresolved as the credits begin to roll.
