What happens

The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns is a 1999 fantasy television miniseries. It stars Randy Quaid, Colm Meaney, Kieran Culkin, Roger Daltrey, Caroline Carver and Whoopi Goldberg. The miniseries contains two main stories that eventually intertwine: the first being the story of an American businessman who visits Ireland and encounters magical leprechauns and the second, a story of a pair of star-crossed lovers who happen to be a fairy and a leprechaun, belonging to opposing sides of a magical war. The series contains many references to Romeo and Juliet, such as two lovers taking poison and feuding clans. The film was first aired on 7 November 1999 on NBC. Emma Townshend's song "We Can Fly Away" was the theme song for the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
