Worley and his assistant, Nurse Wilson, plan to administer <a href="/wiki/Electrotherapy" title="Electrotherapy">electrotherapy</a> to Dorothy, before lightning causes a power failure. Dorothy is rescued by a mysterious girl, who tells her Worley's machines damage patients, and the two escape. Nurse Wilson chases the girls into a river, where Dorothy floats away on a chicken coop, but the other girl isn't seen resurfacing. </p><p>Dorothy awakens in Oz with her chicken, <a href="/wiki/Billina" title="Billina">Billina</a>, who can now talk.

The Wheelers - people with wheels instead of hands and feet - seize them but they are saved by a mechanical man, <a href="/wiki/Tik-Tok_(Oz)" title="Tik-Tok (Oz)">Tik-Tok</a>, who explains he was told by <a href="/wiki/Scarecrow_(Oz)" title="Scarecrow (Oz)">Scarecrow</a>, the king of Oz, to await Dorothy's return. In search of Scarecrow they visit Princess <a href="/wiki/Mombi" title="Mombi">Mombi</a> in her castle, where she keeps her collection of "wearable" heads. After revealing that Scarecrow is being held prisoner by the <a href="/wiki/Nome_King" title="Nome King">Nome King</a>, who is also responsible for the devastation of Oz, she imprisons the group, intending to take Dorothy's head for her collection. </p><p>Locked in a tower the group encounter <a href="/wiki/Jack_Pumpkinhead" title="Jack Pumpkinhead">Jack Pumpkinhead</a>, who explains he was brought to life by Mombi's <a href="/wiki/Land_of_Oz#Powder_of_Life" title="Land of Oz">Powder of Life</a>.

The Gump eventually crashes on the mountain, where Dorothy is briefly reunited with Scarecrow, before the Nome King turns him into an ornament. The Nome King makes each of the group enter a room full of ornaments and make three guesses as to which is Scarecrow, but The Gump, Jack and Tik-Tok all fail and are turned into ornaments themselves. </p><p>Before Dorothy begins her turn the Nome King reveals he has her lost <a href="/wiki/Ruby_slippers" title="Ruby slippers">ruby slippers</a>, which he used to conquer Oz, and offers to use them to send her home instead, but Dorothy refuses. With her third and final guess she selects a green gem, which turns into Scarecrow. Realising inhabitants of Oz turn into green objects, Dorothy finds and restores Jack and the Gump. Enraged, the Nome King imprisons Mombi as punishment for Dorothy’s escape, then grows to gigantic size and attempts to eat the group until Billina lays an egg in his mouth, poisoning him. Dorothy retrieves the ruby slippers and hurriedly puts them on as the subterranean Nome kingdom collapses. She wishes for the group to return to a restored Emerald City, where she restores a green medal on Gump's antler into Tik-Tok. </p><p>The people of Oz subsequently ask Dorothy to be their Queen, but she desires to return home, while Billina chooses to stay. <a href="/wiki/Princess_Ozma" title="Princess Ozma">Princess Ozma</a> - the girl from the sanitarium and rightful ruler of Oz, who was imprisoned in a mirror by Mombi - is then freed and ascends the throne. Dorothy gives Ozma the ruby slippers, which she uses to send Dorothy home, promising she can return in the future if she wishes. Dorothy is found by her family on a riverbank in <a href="/wiki/Kansas" title="Kansas">Kansas</a>, where Aunt Em tells her that the clinic burned down, with everyone except Worley surviving. Nurse Wilson is arrested for her part in Worley’s experiments. Returning home, Dorothy sees Billina and Ozma through her bedroom mirror and calls for Aunt Em, but they signal for her to keep Oz a secret. Dorothy then goes outside and plays with her dog Toto. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Return_to_Oz&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Live_action">Live action</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Return_to_Oz&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Live action"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Fairuza_Balk" title="Fairuza Balk">Fairuza Balk</a> as <a href="/wiki/Dorothy_Gale" title="Dorothy Gale">Dorothy Gale</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nicol_Williamson" title="Nicol Williamson">Nicol Williamson</a> as Dr. J.
