Along with her house and Toto, she's swept from her sepia-toned world to the magical, beautiful, dangerous and technicolor land of Oz. Unable to reach her family in their storm cellar, Dorothy enters the house, is knocked unconscious by a loose window, and apparently begins to dream. Dorothy immediately returns home with Toto, only to find a tornado approaching. Pretending to tell her fortune and wishing to reunite Dorothy with her aunt, he tells her that Auntie Em has fallen ill from worry over her. She meets an itinerant phony fortune teller, Professor Marvel ( Frank Morgan), who immediately guesses that Dorothy has run away. Fearing that Miss Gulch, who does not know that Toto has escaped, will return, Dorothy takes the dog and runs away from home. Miss Gulch shows up with an order to take Toto to the sheriff to be euthanized, but Toto jumps out of the basket on the back of Miss Gulch's bicycle and runs back to Dorothy. She daydreams about going "over the rainbow" after Miss Gulch ( Margaret Hamilton), a nasty neighbor, hits Dorothy's dog Toto ( Terry) on the back with a rake, causing Toto to bite her. Dorothy Gale ( Judy Garland) is an orphaned teenager who lives with her Auntie Em ( Clara Blandick) and Uncle Henry ( Charley Grapewin) on a Kansas farm in the early 1900s.
