The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Also known as The Wizard of Oz
Synopsis
A cyclone carries Dorothy and her dog from Kansas to a country where a scarecrow, a tin man, and a lion are each sure they lack the one quality they keep demonstrating. Baum’s wizard is a lesson in advertising. Home, when Dorothy gets back to it, was never as plain as it looked.
