King Skamperoo of the dull land of Skampavia buys three magic emerald necklaces from a travelling merchant and, with their help and a wish-granting horse called Chalk, makes himself Emperor of Oz. Ozma and her friends are suddenly out of the way, and Dorothy and the others have two mysteries to unravel before things can be set right.
