comedic confrontation of issues of wealth, ethnicity & bigotryPlot Synopsis
Finian, an Irish immigrant, is in Rainbow Valley, Missitucky, to bury a crock of gold which he is sure will grow and make him rich. Part of this fantasy are Og, the leprechaun whose crock has been stolen; Finian's daughter, Sharon, who dreams wistfully of Glocca Morra; Woody Mahoney, a labor organizer who blames an old devil moon for the way he feels about her; and a bigoted Southern Senator, who...as one of Finnian's three wishes...turns black. In the end everyone comes to understand that riches are found not in gold but in people trusting one another.
