As Dick and his friends continue walking down the yellow brick road the camera pans to inside the castle where the Wicked Witch is looking at Dick and his friends in her crystal ball. At her side is Nikko the leader of the winged monkeys.
Wicked Witch of the West: Aha! (Cackling) So you won't take warning, eh? All the worse for you, then. I'll take care of you now instead of later! Ah! (Goes to get her potion) When I gain those emerald slippers, my power will be the greatest in Oz! And now my beauties something with poison in it I think. With poison in it. But attractive to the eye and soothing the smell! (Chuckling) Poppies. Poppies! Poppies will put them to sleep. (The camera switches to the poppy field) Sleep. Now they'll sleep.
Just then Dick and his friends made it through the forest then they finally saw Emerald City.
Dick: Holy end of the rainbow! There's Emerald City! Oh, we're almost there! At last! At last! It's beautiful, isn't it? Just like I knew it would be. He really must be a wonderful wizard to live in the city like that.
Cowardly Lioness: Well, come on then what are we waiting for?
Scarecrowette: Nothing! Let's hurry!
Dick: Yes, let's run!
They start running in the poppy field
Scarecrowette: Come on! Come on!
Tin Man: Hurry! Hurry!
Scarecrowette: Oh, look! Come on! Come on!
Tin Man: Look at the scenery. It's wonderful! Emerald City!
Dick: (Feeling tired) Holy exhaustion. What's happening? What is it? I can't run anymore. I'm so sleepy.
Scarecrowette: Here, give us your hand and we'll pull you along.
Dick: Oh, no, please. I have to rest for just a minute. Toto. Where's Toto?
Toto is asleep in the field and Dick lies down in the field.
Scarecrowette: Oh, you can't rest now. We're nearly there. (Tin Man begins to cry) Don't cry. You'll rust yourself again!
Cowardly Lioness: Coming to think of it, forty winks wouldn't be bad.
Scarecrowette: Don't you start it too!
She and Tin Man hold Lioness
Scarecrowette: No! We ought to try and carry Dick. I don't think I could, but we could try.
Tin Man: Let's.
Scarecrowette: Yes.
Then Lioness collapsed on the field.
Tin Man: Now look at her. This is terrible!
Scarecrowette: Here, Tin Man, help me. (They desperately tried to help a sleeping Dick) Oh, this is terrible! I can't budge her an inch. This is the spell, this is!
Tin Man: (Realizing) It's the Wicked Witch! What'll we do? (Screaming) HELP! HELP!
Scarecrowette: It's no use screaming at a time like this. Nobody will hear you! (Shouting) HELP! HELP! HELP! (As Tin Man continues crying an image of Glinda appears on camera and she waves her wand making the snow fall from the sky.) It's snowing!
Tin Man: No, it isn't.
Scarecrowette: Yes, it is! Maybe that'll help! Oh, but couldn't help! (Dick wakes up) (Realizing) It does help! Dick you're waking up!
Dick: (Sitting up) Oh. Oh.
Cowardly Lioness: (Waking up and yawning) Unusual weather we're having, ain't it?
Dick and Scarecrowette chuckling
Dick: (Shocked upon seeing Tin Man rusted) Holy Medusa! Look! He's rusted again. Oh, give me the oilcan, quick!
Scarecrowette: (Giving her the oilcan) Here. He is rusted.
Dick: (Oiling Tin Man) Here. Quick! Oh! Oh!
Back at the Wicked Witch's castle the Wicked Witch looks on as Dick unrusts Tin Man.
Wicked Witch of the West: (Furiously) Curses! Curses! Somebody always helps that boy. (Nikko hands her the golden cap) But shoes or no shoes, I'm still great enough to conquer her. And woe to those who try to stop me!
She angrily throws the cap across the room and the camera switches back to the poppy field.
Dick: Come on, let's get out of here. Look! Emerald City is closer and prettier than ever!
Optimistic Voices: (Singing) You're out of the woods
You're out of the dark
You're out of the night
Step into the sun
Step into the light. (Dick and his friends come out of the poppy field and heads for the Emerald City)
Keep straight ahead for
The most glorious place
On the face of the earth or the sky
Hold on to your breath
Hold on to your heart
Hold on to your hope
March up to that gate
and bid it open
The camera switches to the Wicked Witch she takes her broomstick and she heads to the window cackling.
Wicked Witch of the West: (To her broom) To the Emerald City, as fast as lightning!
She flies out the window on her broomstick as she cackles and she heads for the Emerald City. Then the camera switches outside of the Emerald City as Dick and his friends head for the green gate.
Optimistic Voices: (Singing) You're out of the woods
You're out of the dark
You're out of the night
Step into the sun.
Step into the light
March up to that gate
and bid it open
Open.
Dick rings the door bell and the doorman sticks his head out of the door's porthole
Doorman: Who rang that bell?
Dick and friends: (Together) We did!
Doorman: Can't you read?
Scarecrowette: Read what?
Doorman: The notice!
Dick and Scarecrowette: (Together) What notice?
Doorman: It's on the door! As plain on the nose on my face!
Groaning in frustration and does a tsk expression, he puts the notice on the door and goes back inside
Dick and friends: (Reading the notice together) "Bell out of order. Please knock."
Dick knocks the door
Doorman: Well! That's more like it! Now, state your business.
Dick and her friends: (Together) We wanna see the Wizard.
Doorman: (Gasps) The Wizard? But nobody can see the great Oz. Nobody's ever seen the great Oz! Even I've never seen him!
Dick: Well, then how do you know there is one?
Doorman: Because he... (Frustrated) Oh! You're wasting my time!
Dick: Oh, please. Please, sir. I've got to see the Wizard. The Good Witch of the North sent me.
Doorman: Prove it!
Scarecrow: He's wearing the emerald slippers that she gave him.
Dick shows the doorman the emerald slippers.
Doorman: (Understands) Oh! So he is! Well, bust my buttons! Why didn't you say that in the first place? (Dick and his friends smiled) That's a horse of a different color! Come on in! (Laughing joyfully)
The doors open as Dick and his friends see inside the Emerald City. The Ozian citizens all wear green clothes.
