Plot[edit]
The famous cat and mouse go back to Oz with Dorothy Gale after the Nome King successfully takes over the Emerald City as they attempt to stop him in pursuit of the ruby slippers. Right after Dorothy says "There's no place like home" from the previous film, she, Uncle Henry, Aunt Em, Tom, and Jerry are cleaning up the farm from the tornado's damage.
However, Mr. Bibb has come to take the animals away unless Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, Hunk, Hickory, and Zeke can get jobs to get the money to keep them in 24 hours. Dorothy wants to help, but to her dismay, they tell her that she's too young. While her family is out looking for jobs, she, Tom, and Jerry stay at the farm to clean up the mess.
However, they find themselves with a second problem: to their horror, one of the Wicked Witch of the West's flying monkeys has come to attack! During the attack, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion show up at the farm! They tell Dorothy that there's trouble in Oz: the Nome King has taken over the Emerald City, and now he wants to destroy Dorothy and seize her ruby slippers.
Since his great fear of the Wizard has kept him underground, Dorothy and her friends journey to Topeka to get the Wizard to return to Oz and set everything right.
