The story was written to satirize an economic system that requires gold reserves to be buried at Fort Knox. Finian, an Irish immigrant, comes to Rainbow Valley, "Missitucky" to bury a crock of gold (stolen from a leprechaun)  which he is sure will grow and make him rich. Among a few of the great songs in the show are "How are Things in Glocca Morra?", "That Old Devil Moon," and "When I'm Not Near the Girl I Love."
