A  Toymaker tells a bizarre story about how the Land of Oz was ruled by Prince Kynd,  but  he  was  overthrown  by  Prime  Minister  Kruel. Dorothy  learns  from  Aunt  Em  that fat, cruel Uncle Henry is not her uncle, and gives her a  note  due  on  her  eighteenth  birthday,  which reveals  she  is actually Princess Dorothea of Oz, and is supposed to marry Prince Kynd. She, Uncle Henry, and two farmhands  are  swept to Oz by a tornado. Snowball, a black farmhand soon joins them after a  lightning  bolt  chases him into the sky. They land in Oz, where the farmhands try to avoid capture.
