When Tom and his two best friends go on a psychedelic mushroom trip they adventure into the Santa Ynez Mountains. As the boys are hiking, they capture a gnome and take it home only to discover the next day that their gnome is actually a bratty and manipulative 8-year-old girl. In fear of getting arrested, the boys go to great lengths to appease her demands and return the girl to her rightful home. Finally, after failing in their attempts to return the girl, they turn themselves in to find out that the little girl has a 15,000 dollar reward for her return.
