[edit] Plot

After being pawned to a Las Vegas shop owner, Leprechaun (Davis) strangles the owner to death with a phone cord. He is found by college student Scott, who has fallen for a casino employee named Tammy. Scott steals Leprechaun’s coin which in this movie has the ability to grant one wish per person. This one wish can do Leprechaun no harm. This is also the first movie in which Leprechaun can be turned into concrete if forced to wear a medallion. After striking rich at the casino, Scott is robbed by employees (Loretta and Fazio) and attacked by leprechaun. He is able to throw Leprechaun out the hotel window, but in the process is bitten. In the meantime, casino employees (Mitch, Loretta, Fazio) pass the coin around making wishes. Mitch wishes he could sleep with Tammy, Loretta wishes for a new body, and Fazio wishes that he were the greatest magician in the world. One by one, Leprechaun kills them off. Scott has begun to turn into a leprechaun himself and must fight his urges to steal Leprechaun’s pot of gold. In the end Tammy and Scott burn Leprechaun’s gold, which in this movie has the ability to kill him. It is worth noting that in this film Leprechaun possesses new powers, such as the ability to disappear on cue, ability to move objects with his mind, and the ability to rhyme.
