Originating from England, this play is an ordinary fantasy, created from beguiling characters and written with the inimitable humor of Alan Cullen. A lovable old patent-medicine peddler named Seamus O'Shaughnessy, while visiting Nicolette in her toy shop, opens a forbidden box and releases a dancing puppet, which is promptly purchased by an imperious duchess. But the puppet comes to life, revealing himself to be a prince bewitched by a wicked magician. Since he must return to puppet status by rooster-crow, Seamus summons a furious little leprechaun to break the spell, who sends the little party to prevent the High Cockalorum from crowing. This proves a formidable enterprise, and they are obliged to call upon the leprechaun again, to restore the prince to his rightful place.
