Sophia, the eleven-year-old girl, was asked by her mother if she'd like to go shopping with her. She gets up in excitement and leaves for the day. They come home and are greeted by dad, he seemed to be in a rough mood. They get through dinner with awkward conversations between mother and father. Suddenly there is an argument on the second floor stair case, father is accusing her of taking her medicine inappropriately. Mother goes to show him that she hasn't by taking her bottle of pills out. All of a sudden mother hears a quiet giggle from a distant room as her daughter comes running to her side up the stairs, the pills go flying and as if it was magic a few go under Sophia's feet. She loses her balance and slides down the stairs. She tumbles as she screams but by the time she reaches the bottom floor there is no noise. Mother and father run to her side to find their babies neck slumped to the side, it was broken during the fall. The police are called then the ambulance comes to take the body away. Father packs his belongings and is never seen again then the mom hears the leprechaun voice say I want me gold then an evil laugh happens. After the funeral the mother came home and realized the Inn needed fixing. She went to some construction workers and had them come to the house to look at everything. While the workers were there she went to her daughters old room, she picks up a book her daughter had and opens it. Pressed between the pages was a dried out four leaf clover. She smiles and puts the clover in her pocket and continues to look at her belongings. Soon she notices some things begin to move. She continues to get the house work done until she begins to see her Sophia walk through the halls. At first she thought she was crazy but after a while she kept seeing her so she began to follow her. She followed her into her daughters old room to comfort the spirit but when she got close enough the child turned an ugly shade of green and began to growl "I want Me Gold!". She fell to the floor on her face, when she turned to see what the creature was it was already gone. A few rooms were ready to rent so to make up lost profit she rented them out. One was a nice couple with a child who needed to stay for a week while they were on vacation. The child runs off and comes back to the parents saying she was playing with the little girl. The parents tell the Inn keeper of their child's encounter, the women explains it was her child but it couldn't be her since she had been dead for months. All of a sudden there was silence and a loud ringing in their ears, when they began to hear again they heard a dark voice in a solid tone " I want Me Gold!". The guest seemed scared but there was no where else in town to go so they decided to tough it out a guest i think it's a leprechaun and the keeper says that's not true there's no such thing as leprechauns. They start to talk to the Inn keeper about the voice, she seemed on edge like she was hiding something then switched the conversation about their child. Everyone heads for bed, the keeper sits in her room when she hears a soft voice saying "I know it wasn't your fault". She sits up and looks around to see her daughter smiling outside her open bedroom window. Since her room was on the second floor she goes to see how she was doing it but when she got there she was gone. The keeper lays down in tears but with a smile on her face
The next day when the keeper woke up she saw a small person sitting at her kitchen table, she slowly walks in the room and asks if she could help them. He turns around to confront her and asks "Where's me gold?" She replies she has no idea but he tells her he can smell it's close. She begins to explain she found it so it belongs to her. His hand goes up as if he were choking her, her feet no longer touches the ground. He tells her he knows she's lying because his powers are growing. All of a sudden the Leprechaun loses his grip and sees a shadow coming out from the window. It is her daughter coming to save her with some mysterious powers and The keeper drops to the floor and runs for grabs Sophia by the throat tries to choke her and then she kicks the leprechaun of her and leprechaun disappears and then Sophia disappears She finds her tenants and explains what just happened, they don't believe her so she takes them to where it happened only to find nothing. She screams it was real, the ghost and the Leprechaun but they walk away in disbelief.
Soon everyone calms down and finds each other in Sophia's bedroom, they begin to talk about what he wants and why he thinks it's in the Inn. During the conversation, the Inn Keepers' daughter tells her to admit what she's done. She tells her daughter that she'd never tell and it wasn't her fault because she didn't know the gold was attached to a monster. The others hear her and begin to question her, she explains she found the gold outside in the woods under the remains of a fallen apple tree. She thought it was fake gold at first then when she realized it was real she sold it to fix up the Inn. Everyone becomes angry and makes plans to get out and leave. The leprechaun comes in the room and says they better tell him or they are all dead. The guest screams to him that it was the Innkeeper and that he should only kill her. He walks over to her and begins to torture her. Suddenly he feels a presence, he looks over his shoulder to see Sophia. He tells her it's none of her business, she disappears only to turn up right behind him. He is thrown across the room, he gets up and runs to her. He grabs her by the throat and squeezes, he leans over her and says you should have given me the gold. Her mother hits him over the head with a chair, he waves his hand knocking her unconscious. His attention goes back to Sophia, he continues to choke her. Despite her being dead he still had enough powers to attack her. The mother comes to and remembers the clover in her pocket, she searches around for something to get it in him. She finds her daughter's slingshot in her toy box. She grabs the slingshot and puts the clover in it. She yells "Hey, Mighty Mouse!", he looks up and sees the mother aiming for him she tells him. as he tackles Sophia to the ground and grabs her by the throat The mother looks at the daughter and that she knew it t the leprechaun mom out and attacks. leprechaun locks Sophia in a chokehold and she grabbed a four-leaf clover and shoots him in the mouth with it and leprechaun scribbles up They pick up all the pieces of the leprechaun, and the leprechaun comes back to life before they can throw him in the water and leprechaun tackle Sophia to the ground and tries to strangle her as leprechaun continues to strangle Sophia the mom shoots in fire match at the leprechaun and the leprechaun blows up and goes all over The mother looks at the daughter and hugs her, the daughter tells her that her time is almost up and that she knew it wasn't the mother's fault for her death, it was the leprechaun's. With tears in her eyes, she disappears smiling, all that's left is a whisper " I love you mom". The guest comes into the room to see the Innkeeper on the floor with a smile. They pick up all the pieces of the leprechaun, put them in a bag, and take as a group they take the bag to the pond. They tie a cinder block to the bag and toss it in. They joke about how no one will be swimming in the pond anymore as they head for the house. The mother is alone in the house years later and hears a giggle than a voice saying "I want me gold".
