Dorothy Gale, a young girl from Kansas, is swept away by a tornado to the magical Land of Oz. She lands in Munchkinland, where she accidentally defeats the Wicked Witch of the East. Glinda, the Good Witch, tells Dorothy to follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City to seek help from the Wizard of Oz in returning home.

Along the way, Dorothy befriends a Scarecrow seeking a brain, a Tin Man longing for a heart, and a Cowardly Lion hoping for courage. Together, they face obstacles, including the Wicked Witch of the West, who seeks revenge for her sister’s demise. After surviving the witch’s attacks, they reach the Emerald City, where the Wizard promises to grant their wishes if they defeat the witch.

Dorothy and her friends confront the witch in her castle, ultimately melting her with water. They return to the Wizard, only to discover he is an ordinary man using illusions. Still, he helps grant their wishes—revealing they had what they needed all along. Dorothy learns she can return home by clicking her ruby slippers and wakes up in Kansas, realizing there’s no place like home.
