The malevolent Leprechaun, celebrating his one-thousandth birthday, returns to the mortal world to claim a bride, targeting Bridget, a descendant of his former slave. After killing several people, including Bridget's date, the Leprechaun kidnaps her and takes her to his lair, forcing a ring onto her finger. Bridget's friend Cody and his uncle Morty attempt a rescue, but Morty dies after making wishes from the Leprechaun, leaving Cody to face the creature alone. Bridget ultimately confronts and destroys the Leprechaun, allowing her and a mortally wounded Cody to escape to the surface.

Don't worry your little head about it. You'll get used to the pain. Aye, we'll have to make some changes to your face as well. Tis a fair face, but the wee ones won't suckle if you don't look like them. They can be very demanding at times. Many changes. Many changes.

Don't leave me tied here! Please! I promise I'll do... I want to make myself look pretty for our wedding night. I want to look pretty for you. You're my husband now. I want to please you.

Yeah, it's huge. Big old wrought iron thing. And if it's a tight fit, I'm not shedding any tears.
