A young girl named Dorothy gets caught in a tornado and brought to the magical land of Oz, where her house lands on the Wicked Witch of the East. The Good Witch of the North gives Dorothy the Wicked Witches magic silver shoes and tells her the Wizard who lives in the Emerald City in the center of Oz can send her home. Dorothy goes on a journey to meet the Wizard and ask him to send her home. Along the way, she meets a Scarecrow who wants a brain, a Tin Woodsman who wants a heart, and a Lion who wants courage. The four make it to the Emerald City where the Wizard tells them to kill the Wicked Witch of the West. They go and Dorothy accidentally melts her with a bucket of water. They return to the Wizard, who reveals he is a carnival man from Omaha. He gives the three Ozians gifts representing the virtues they wanted and promises to bring Dorothy home in a hot air balloon. The balloon leaves without her on accident. Dorothy and her friends go to see the Good Witch of the South, Glinda, to find out how to get Dorothy home. Glinda tells her the silver slippers can carry her across the desert. Dorothy clicks her heals and returns home.

The deleted Jitterbug scene was originally part of a sub-plot in the Wizard of Oz involving two characters named the Grand Duke of Oz and Princess Betty. The song was composed by E. Y. Harburg and Harold Arlen to show off Judy Garland's jazzy style of singing. The sub-plot did not survive, but the song made it further, only to be cut in early previews of the film. Look for a rough film of the song & dance on YouTube.
