All of Dorothy's friends become trapped in the situations they were in when she first met them, meaning that they all must visit the Wizard as they did in the pilot for the TV series. <a href="/wiki/Dorothy_Gale" title="Dorothy Gale">Dorothy</a> receives a letter from the <a href="/wiki/Scarecrow_(Oz)" title="Scarecrow (Oz)">Scarecrow</a>, called Socrates in the special, as in the series, telling her that everyone is happy with the gifts the <a href="/wiki/Wizard_(Oz)" class="mw-redirect" title="Wizard (Oz)">Wizard</a> gave them and that they miss her very much. She goes to find her magic <a href="/wiki/Silver_Shoes" title="Silver Shoes">Silver Shoes</a> and is instantly taken back to <a href="/wiki/Land_of_Oz" title="Land of Oz">Oz</a> again by another <a href="/wiki/Kansas" title="Kansas">Kansas</a> twister, this time not by house, but an apple tree. Once she arrives there, she is greeted by the <a href="/wiki/Munchkin" title="Munchkin">Munchkins</a> in Munchkinville. <a href="/wiki/Glinda" title="Glinda">Glinda</a> arrives to tell her that the previously melted <a href="/wiki/Wicked_Witch_of_the_West" title="Wicked Witch of the West">Wicked Witch of the West</a> has become reconstituted and is wreaking havoc again, having taken Socrates' diploma and burned it, destroyed the heart of the <a href="/wiki/Tin_Woodman" title="Tin Woodman">Tin Woodman</a>, called Rusty, by turning herself into a Tin Woman, and dropping him into a pond where he rusted over again. She has also stolen the medal that belonged to the <a href="/wiki/Cowardly_Lion" title="Cowardly Lion">Cowardly Lion</a>, called Dandy, and turned it into a daisy, and is planning to get Dorothy's silver shoes again. Glinda warns Dorothy that the silver slippers will only protect her and turn the heartless, brainless, and cowardly into solid stone. </p><p>Dorothy sets off to find her friends, without knowing the Wicked Witch is watching them in her Crystal Ball. She finds and oils Rusty who has rusted after the Witch tricked him. They find Socrates in a cornfield on a pole scaring crows again and get him down. They find Dandy crying, and after some unexpectedly cruel <a href="/wiki/Bullying" title="Bullying">bullying</a> from Socrates and Rusty, they cheer him up. After the four friends are reunited, they arrive at the <a href="/wiki/Emerald_City" title="Emerald City">Emerald City</a>, only to be tricked by the Witch, who has captured the Wizard and taken over as the ruler of Oz. The Wizard, who in this continuity is not an <a href="/wiki/Omaha" class="mw-redirect" title="Omaha">Omaha</a> huckster but an Ozite born and bred and the elected ruler of Oz, tells them to destroy her again and he will give them what they want. She arrives back at her castle just before Dorothy and her friends, but before they arrive she sends flying alligators to kill them. Socrates' quick thinking saves them as they hide under his straw (a method employed in more than one of the Oz books). Rusty saves them from a lightning bolt by sacrificing himself, which kills him, despite his being made of tin. Dorothy asks Glinda if she will help and a glowing ball brings him back to life. They arrive and are trapped by the Witch. She grabs Dorothy and tries to take her silver slippers. The gang (including the Wizard himself) tries to get her back from the Witch, who gives her and Dandy the slippers. Dorothy, who is being held upside-down from the window, tells Dandy that he will turn to stone if he takes them, but he takes them anyway without being turned to stone. The Witch takes them only to be turned into stone, crumble, and fall apart. The gang returns to the Emerald City, only to find out that the Wizard is, after all, a humbug, unable as he always was to return Dorothy home. Glinda appears to tell Dorothy the reason that her friends didn't turn to stone, because they had brains, a heart, and courage. She also explains that the Witch was cruel and heartless, brainless enough to think that evil could conquer good and cowardly in that she used slaves and suppressed others. Dorothy wishes to go back, and instantly, a Kansas twister whisks her and Toto back home to Aunt Em and Uncle Henry again. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characters">Characters</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Return_to_Oz_(TV_special)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Characters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The following characters appear in the special, with associated voice actors: </p> <ul><li>Dandy Lion (Cowardly Lion) and The Wizard of Oz – <a href="/wiki/Carl_Banas" title="Carl Banas">Carl Banas</a></li> <li>Dorothy Gale – Susan Conway <ul><li>Dorothy Gale (singing) – Susan Morse<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (not to be confused with the <a href="/wiki/Susan_Morse" class="mw-redirect" title="Susan Morse">film editor</a> of the same name)</li></ul></li> <li>Glinda, the Good Witch of the North – Peggi Loder</li> <li>Rusty the Tin Man (Tin Woodman) and The Wicked Witch of the West – <a href="/wiki/Larry_D._Mann" title="Larry D.
