Plot

In Los Angeles, California, Mack Daddy O'Nasses (Ice-T) and Slug (Barima McKnight) discover a hidden room full of gold, along with a leprechaun (Warwick Davis) that has been kept as a statue by a medallion on its neck. Mack Daddy takes a gold flute, but Slug removes the medallion, freeing the Leprechaun, who then kills Slug. Mack Daddy manages to trap the Leprechaun with the medallion again before leaving with the flute. 20 years later, wannabe rap artists Postmaster P. (Anthony Montgomery), Stray Bullet (Rashaan Nall) and Butch (Red Grant) have their speaker destroyed while at an audition. After failing to sell a guitar they falsely claim belonged to Jimi Hendrix to pawn shop owners Jackie Dee Redding (Dan Martin) and Chow (Jack Ong) for money to buy a new speaker, Stray Bullet manages to convince Mack Daddy, now a successful record producer, to pick them up. However, he drops them when Postmaster P. refuses to make his music more aggressive.
