Aprašymas

Dorothy Gale is glady joining her Uncle Henry in California to visit relatives who live at Hugson's Ranch, after their vacation from Australia in Ozma of Oz. Dorothy meets Hugson's nephew who is her second cousin, Zeb of Hugson's Ranch. Dorothy, Eureka (her cat) and Zeb are riding a buggy being pulled by a cab-horse named Jim when a violent earthquake hits and starts to open a crevice beneath them that sends them all hurtling deep into the chasm, being swallowed by the bowels of the Earth. Dorothy, Eureka, Jim, Zeb, and the buggy alight into the Land of the Mangaboos, a race of people made entirely of vegetables and who accuse them of causing the "Rain of Stones" which has destroyed and shattered their glass kingdom. Zeb is very surprised by this strange new land, but Dorothy, who is no stranger to undiscovered realms and magical countries, surmises that they are in a fairy country because they are meeting vegetable people and Jim and Eureka are now speaking real words. Just as they are about to be sentenced to death by the Mangaboos, a hot air balloon randomly falls out of the sky and in the basket is Oscar Diggs, the humbug wizard who once ruled the Land of Oz, (and who Dorothy last saw as he floated away into the sky from the Emerald City).
