Plot
Haggis MacHaggis lives in his Scottish Gothic castle in the Highlands of Scotland with his moronic Swedish servant Myron.[1] Haggis is ashamed to be bald and wants hair again.[1] Haggis discovers a leprechaun who promises to give Haggis hair on his head again, but only if Haggis passes three tests of self-control, generosity, and courage.[1] Haggis successively fails all three tests due to his anger, greed and cowardice.[1] The leprechaun gives Haggis a malformed head of hair anyhow, and Haggis happily runs off into the sunset where he explodes.[1]
