Spuds Postsofgold is just an ordinary, everyday leprechaun, living in Toadstool cottage with his wife, Rose Goodytwoshes, and their pet mouse Steve (who meows because he thinks he's a cat). Mostly, life is wonderful. However, there's one thing that gets Spuds upset and that's spiders. Spuds detests them. So, he isn't at all happy when Leggers McWeb makes his home in Toadstool Cottage.
