Just when his poor wife's back gives out, lazy but lucky Jamie O'Rourke traps himself a leprechaun, from whom he wins a single wish. When Jamie wishes for all the potatoes he can eat, he may have bitten off more than he can chew in this colorful Irish folktale filled with humor and a touch of blarney, too. Full color.
