Dorothy Gale, unhappy on her drab, sepia-tinted Kansas farm, is knocked out during a tornado. . .and dreams that she is over the rainbow in the colourful land of Oz. There she meets the adorable Munchkins and goes off on the Yellow Brick Road to see the all-powerful Wizard in the Emerald City. Despite the machinations of the Wicked Witch of the West, Dorothy and her new friends the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman, and the Cowardly Lion complete the journey only to discover that the Wizard is a fraud. He does, however, convince the little girl's companions that they already possess the desired brains, heart and courage, and Dorothy wakes up from her dream convinced that there's no place like home.
