In the story, Dorothy returns to Kansas to find it devastated by the tornado that had whisked her away to the magical land of Oz. The home she had been so desperate to return to is no longer; the townspeople, with nowhere to turn, are packing up and moving out. However, before Dorothy can even begin to react to or resist this change, she is transported back to Oz in a giant rainbow. Oz is in trouble, and the people there need her help: Dorothy's old friends the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion have disappeared, and the land is in a state of decay. As Dorothy journeys to find her friends, she encounters a number of new companions and problems, including a man made of marshmallows who can't think for himself, a china doll princess whose bossiness is a cover for her fragility, and a tugboat with as many personalities as he has pieces. Dorothy must help this odd group band together against a wicked jester who thinks all of Oz should be under his control. In doing so, she learns, along with the others, that the group is stronger than the individual, and that if they only work together, people can do anything a valuable lesson for her to bring back with her to Kansas.
