makes friends with a Pooka, a spirit taking the form of a human-sized rabbit that
only Elwood can see.

introduces him to everyone he meets as his best friend which is why his sister
Veta Louise (Josephine Hull), Due to his insistence that he has an invisible
six-foot-tall rabbit as a friend, tries to commit him to a mental institution.

than any of them knows, and Elwood and Harvey become the catalysts for a family
to mend its wounds and for romance blossoming in unexpected places.
