What happens
The Wizard of Oz is a 1925 American silent fantasy-adventure comedy film directed by Larry Semon, who has the lead role of a Kansas farmhand, later disguised as the Scarecrow. This production stars Dorothy Dwan as Dorothy, Oliver Hardy as the Tin Woodman, and Curtis McHenry briefly disguised as a lion. It is the only completed 1920s adaptation of L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and less well-known than the celebrated 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer version of Baum's work, The Wizard of Oz. In the film, Dorothy Gale, a Kansas farm girl, is told about her Uncle Henry not being her uncle after all. Suddenly, a tornado blows into Kansas and whisks the farmhands and Dorothy to Oz, where Dorothy is declared to be long-lost Princess Dorothea by Prime Minister Kruel. In Oz, the farmhands are disguised as a scarecrow, a tin man and a lion. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
