One day, Papa presents the children with a beautiful white horse named Tir na nOg, and the children soon develop a relationship with it. The horse attacts the attention of a nasty horse trader Noel Hartnett(John Kavanagh)and a crooked police Inspector Bolger(Brendan Glesson), who deviously acquires it.
