The story opens with Dorothy (Judy Garland) running home with her faithful dog Toto.  She excitedly tries to interest her Auntie Em and Uncle Henry Gale in the terrible story of how Miss Elmira Gulch (Margaret Hamilton) hit Toto with a rake because he gets in her garden and chases her cat.  Next we meet the three farmhands (Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr and Jack Haley), each of them try to help her out in their own way. Ray Bolger tells her to use her brains, Bert Lahr tells her to have courage.  Now Dorothy sings her signature song ''Somewhere Over The Rainbow''.  Now we see Miss Gulch riding her bicycle to the Gale's farm where she shows them an order allowing her to take Toto to the sheriff, because she says Toto bit her.  Dorothy is very upset and runs crying to her room.  Watch it on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Nh3tCHxEQ part 1]

Toto however escapes from Miss Gulch's basket without her noticing, and runs back to Dorothy.  Dorothy knows that to protect Toto, she will have to run away.  So she and Toto run away and on her journey meets Professor Marvel (Frank Morgan), a fortune teller.  He tells her that in his crystal ball he can see her Aunt Em crying, and possibly having a heart attack.  Dorothy gets upset and wants to run back home.  On the way home, a tornado appears and threatens the farm.  They all go into the storm cellar, but Dorothy arrives too late.  She tries to get into the storm cellar but the door is locked and they can't hear her banging on the top.  So she goes back into her room and hits her head and falls onto the bed.  Watch it on YouTube  [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovaYLpm5DI4&feature=related Part 2]
