No giant is more scared of Cucullin, the strongest giant in Ireland, than Fin M'Coul. For years Cucullin has chased Fin, hoping to flatten him as he did the thunderbolt he carries in his pocket.
One day, when Fin hears Cucullin is coming, he rushes home to his wife, Oonagh, on Knockmany Hill.
Oonagh decides that enough is enough. The time has come for her to take matters into her own hands and help her husband.
Knowing the secret of Cucullin's strength, and using her good Irish cleverness, she prepares a scheme that is sure to workk.
When Cucullin arrives at Knockmany Hill, he discovers that his strength is no match for the lovely lass, Oonagh, and Fin M'Coul.
