Fairy-shoemaking leprechauns invade Finn's town. Their hammering keeps the townsfolk awake, until Finn tricks the leprechauns into moving their shoemaking elsewhere. Muted oil paintings show the leprechauns angry at Finn's trickery, then pleased when he reveals their gold hidden at the end of the rainbow. The story is text-heavy but entertaining.
