The
Wizard of Oz, originally a book by L. Frank Baum, is best known
in the film version starring Judy Garland. At the beginning of this
beloved fantasy story, we see Dorothy living on a farm in Kansas
with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. No one has much time for the young
girl, and she is left to her own devices. She daydreams about a
fantasy place "over the rainbow." As fate would have it, a big twister
comes up, and she is knocked unconscious by a window frame that
is blown into her bedroom. She dreams the house is lifted from its
foundation by the wind and lands in Oz...

| Glinda,
the Good Witch of the North, appears and says Dorothy has freed the
Munchkins from the Wicked Witch of the East, who was crushed under
Dorothy's house when it landed. The Wicked Witch of the West then
appears and wants her dead sister's ruby slippers. When Glinda arranges
for the slippers, which have magical powers, to go to Dorothy, the
Wicked Witch vows revenge. |

| Dorothy
wants to get home, and Glinda advises her to walk to Oz and consult
the Wizard. On the road Dorothy acquires three companions: a Scarecrow

hopes to acquire some courage. |

| They
survive several attempts by the Wicked Witch to destroy them, arrive
at the Emerald City, and finally get into the chamber of the Wizard,
whom no one has ever seen. There is a big stage effect of smoke, and
they hear the impressive voice of the Wizard telling them that before
he will grant their wishes they must prove their worthiness by bringing
him the broomstick of the Wicked Witch. |

| Toto
escapes, finds the others in Dorothy's group, and leads them back
to the Witch's castle and the room where Dorothy is being held. The
Woodsman breaks open the locked door with his ax. But the Witch corners
them before they can get out the front door and sets fire to the Scarecrow.
Dorothy grabs a bucket of water and throws it on him. In the process,
some of the water gets on the Wicked Witch, who melts away. |

| The
four of them go back to the Wizard with her broomstick, and he tells
them to come back tomorrow. But Toto pulls aside a curtain, and they
see a man running all the machinery that creates the impressive stage
effects. They realize the whole thing is an illusion (the Wizard being
a Three), and they won't get the things they seek, after all.

| But
the Wizard gives the Scarecrow a diploma, which attests to his brains,
and once he believes he has brains, he does. The Lion, says the Wizard,
is suffering from disordered thinking. All he needs to attest to his
courage is a medal, and the Wizard produces one. |

| The
Tin Woodsman, who needs a heart, is given a testimonial: "A heart
is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved
by others." The Wizard plans to take Dorothy back to Kansas
in the balloon he arrived in years ago. But once they are ready to
go, Toto jumps out of the balloon basket, Dorothy runs after him,
and the balloon takes off without her. |

| Dorothy
is in despair of ever getting home, but Glinda appears and tells her
she has always had the power to go home. All she needs to do is close
her eyes, click the heels of her ruby slippers together three times
and think three times, "There's no place like home." She wakes up
in her bedroom, thrilled to be home, and vows never to leave again.
