Summary: A toymaker tells the bizarre story of the Land of Oz, ruled by Prince Kynd, who is overthrown by Prime Minister Kruel. Dorothy learns from Aunt Em that fat, cruel Uncle Henry is not her uncle and that she is actually Princess Dorothea of Oz, and is supposed to marry Prince Kynd. She, Uncle Henry, and two farmhands are swept to Oz by a tornado. Snowball, a black farmhand, soon joins them after a lightening bolt chases him into the sky. They land in Oz, where they try to avoid capture by disguising themselves as a scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and a lion.
