Episode 124 - The Leprechauns' Christmas Gold (1981)

Rankin-Bass are responsible for several classics, from The Hobbit and The Last Unicorn to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. This is not one of them. No, it's twee Stage Irish nonsense with Americans doing terrible accents, and a complete misunderstanding what a banshee (bean sí) is. Also, apparently St. Patrick is a leprechaun. Whatever. Starring Art Carney, Peggy Cass, Bob McFadden, Ken Jennings (not that Ken Jennings), and Christine Mitchell. Written by Romeo Muller, and directed by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr.
