Upon her arrival, her house accidentally lands on and kills the Wicked Witch of the East. To find her way back home, Dorothy is advised to follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City and seek the help of the mysterious Wizard of Oz. Along her journey, she encounters and befriends the Scarecrow, who desires a brain; the Tin Woodman, who longs for a heart; and the Cowardly Lion, who yearns for courage.
