Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) is a young girl from a farm in Kansas who gets whisked away by a tornado and lands on the land of Oz.

"Margaret Hamilton was badly burned during a scene in which her character, the Wicked Witch of the West, "vanished" in a burst of flame and smoke. A delay in activating a trap door left her exposed to the pyrotechnic device. Her stunt double was also injured in a scene involving a smoking broomstick. Buddy Ebsen suffered a severe allergic reaction to his Tin Man makeup that resulted in a collapsed lung and lifelong breathing issues. He was unable to continue working on the production and was repl"
"Dorothy lives on a farm in Kansas until a cyclone arrives, and picks her, her house, and her dog up and deposits them in the land of Oz. Things in Oz are strange and beautiful, but Dorothy just wants to get back home. "

“Dorthy Gale is transported to the Land of Oz as the door from drab, sepia-toned, tornado ravaged Kansas opens up into brilliant, vibrant Technicolor; journeying to the fabled Emerald City via the infamous Yellow Brick Road, a quest begins, but only for the express purpose of returning home. Oz is ostensibly a magical, mysterious plane existing within Dorothy's dream state (rendered upon being knocked unconscious whilst fleeing her aunt's farm to prevent a particularly vile neighbour from euthanizing her dog Toto) inhabited by a quintet of dual characters physically transformed from their real-life counterparts.
