It begins on a tumbledown farm in Kansas, but the tornado sets Dorothy and Toto down in a bit-city-like Oz. After celebrating the demise of the Wicked Witch of the East with the Munchkins, Dorothy departs for the Emerald City with a live yellow brick road. She encounters a Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man who together seek help from the Great Man in the flashy city.
They encounter the deadly poppy field and Lion must be rescued by a mice squad. The friends meet with the Wizard, who agrees to grant all their wishes as a package deal — if they knock off Evillene, the Wicked Witch of the West.
They nearly get to Evillene but are captured by her menacing winged monkeys. Eventually Dorothy and her friends overcome Evillene. The Wiz convinces the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Lion of their brains, heart, and courage. There is the normal mix-up during his departure in his balloon without Dorothy and the re-appearance of the good witches, Addaperle and Glinda, who inform Dorothy that she has merely to click the heels of her silver slippers together three times to return home.
