Instead of inventing a new Oz tale, the film returns Dorothy to the Land of Oz while she still possesses the ruby slippers. During a tornado she grabs an apple tree and is whisked back. The Scarecrow, Tin Woodman and Lion—named from the series Tales of the Wizard of Oz—find their MGM gifts destroyed by a revived Wicked Witch. They seek the Wizard, who stays ineffective.
