Gioppino nel regno del mago di Oz starts in Kansas. Dorothy lives there with uncle Henry and Gioppino the servant, working to carry on the farm. One day, a hurricane comes and Dorothy and Gioppino are dragged to the sky. They ground in Emerald City, where Lemonsucker people live. A citizen suggests to the girl to go to the wizard of Oz, if she wants to find a way to go back home. During her journey, Dorothy meets three strange characters that join her and Gioppino on their way to the wonderful wizard of Oz. They are a Scarecrow without brain, a Tinman who wants to have an heart and a coward Lion who hopes to find the courage that he never had. After a long walk, they arrive to the castle and are received by doctor Tartaglia, who introduces them to the Wizard that promises to help them all only after they have killed the Wicked Witch of the West. The group, led by Gioppino, ventures into the forest, having to confront with the servants of the Witch. How will this story end? Will our friends receive the desired help?
