Spoilers ahead
In a bustling Las Vegas pawn shop, a frail old man arrives with a prosthetic leg and hand, pawning a statue adorned with a medallion. He insists that the statue is his cherished good luck charm and warns the shop owner, Gupta, never to touch the medallion. However, curiosity gets the better of Gupta, and he removes it, inadvertently releasing a Leprechaun (Warwick Davis) from his stone confinement. The vengeful Leprechaun leaps onto Gupta’s back, viciously biting off a piece of his ear and chastising him for his greed.
