When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy and Toto, her dog are whisked away in their house to the magical land of Oz. To try to get home they follow the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City to meet the Wizard. On route they meet a Scarecrow who wishes for a brain, a Tin Man who longs for a missing heart, and a Cowardly Lion, who wants courage to become the king of the jungle again. However the Wizard asks the group to bring him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West so they can earn his help with granting the them their wishes.
