Dorothy Gale (played by Judy Garland) lives on a farm in Kansas with her Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, and her dog, Toto. When a mean neighbor, Miss Gulch, threatens to take Toto away, Dorothy runs away from home. However, she soon decides to return after meeting a kind traveling fortune teller who convinces her that her family is worried about her.

Back home, a tornado suddenly strikes and Dorothy is unable to reach the storm cellar in time. She and Toto are swept up in the house, which is carried away by the tornado. When the house finally lands, Dorothy steps outside and discovers she is no longer in Kansas but in the magical land of Oz.

She is greeted by Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, and the Munchkins, who celebrate her arrival because her house has accidentally killed the Wicked Witch of the East. However, the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton), the dead witch’s sister, arrives to claim revenge and retrieve her sister’s magical ruby slippers. Glinda magically transfers the slippers to Dorothy’s feet and advises her to follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City to seek help from the Wizard of Oz in returning home.

Together, they journey to the Emerald City, facing obstacles set by the Wicked Witch of the West, including a poppy field that makes them fall asleep. Once they reach the city, they are granted an audience with the Wizard, who appears as a giant, intimidating face and voice. He agrees to grant their wishes, but only if they bring him the Wicked Witch’s broomstick.

The group ventures to the witch’s castle, where Dorothy is captured. Her friends bravely infiltrate the castle to rescue her. In a climactic confrontation, Dorothy accidentally melts the Wicked Witch by throwing a bucket of water on her, destroying her for good. They return to the Emerald City with the broomstick, but the Wizard is revealed to be a fraud—just an ordinary man using special effects to appear powerful.

Despite this, the Wizard helps the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion realize they already possess the qualities they sought: intelligence, compassion, and bravery. He promises to take Dorothy home in his hot air balloon, but the balloon accidentally departs without her. Glinda then appears and tells Dorothy she had the power to return home all along by clicking her ruby slippers together and saying, “There’s no place like home.”

Dorothy wakes up in her bed in Kansas, surrounded by her family and friends. She realizes that her journey to Oz may have been a dream, but she carries its lessons with her, declaring, “There’s no place like home.”
