Many years ago, before Dorothy came to Oz, the royal family of the Munchkins were kidnapped and imprisoned on the mysterious Ozure Islands by the witch Mombi. Quiberon, an evil monster created by Mombi, guards them, but now wants a mortal maiden. Prince Philadore of the Ozure Islands sets out to save them, and meets Tattypoo, the Good Witch of the North (Not seen since The Wonderful Wizard of Oz).

This book also features several new characters. Benny, short for "public benifactor", is a statue. Also The Medicine Man, a man with a medicine chest in his chest who is addicted to taking pills.
