Midas Touch, an Earth Pony who seems devoid of even the slightest bit of good luck, has just had to sell his jewelry shop and move from Canterlot, where the rest of his upper-class family live, to Ponyville, in order to avoid the rumors caused by the latest incident involving one of his customers. He’s left with not much in the way of possessions, only the prospect of a potential job, and very little in the way of hope for his own future. This is the story of his attempt at rebuilding a life for himself, and the hardships he will have to overcome in the process.
