Description

Henry Pickett is a colorless nebbish living a boring, hum-drum life. But that is about to change! Before the night is out, he who never drinks, will have had more than a few. Then he will become the unwitting custodian of a magical charm, and the target of a contentious band of drunken gnomes from Rip Van Winkle territory. But his real troubles start when he meets Dorothy Guilford who is his diametrical opposite. She is fascinating, self-confident, a witch, and she thinks the hapless Henry may be just the man for her. But, only if he proves himself worthy by surviving the alcohol, the gnomes, and the malfunctioning charm which is about to bring a whole world of woes down on Henry's head!
