Is there such a thing as a leprechaun? Colin Doyle, a psychic that can control time, knows the answer to that question. With a quick grab he captured Leprechaun King, Angus McNamara, and is granted three wishes. Does he wish for fame and fortune or does he use his wishes to benefit others? A shrewd man, it takes Colin many years and many adventures at sea to put his wishes to good use. From a common seaman to shipwreck survivor on Florida's southern shore, he eventually becomes the captain of a Confederate warship, then serves his waning years as a captain aboard a peaceful Pennsylvania Canal packet.
