Tip escapes the witch Mombi after taking a box of magic items.  He creates Jack Pumpkinhead and a Sawhorse who come to life with special powder from the box.  They are his companions as he travels to the Emerald City where he befriends the Scarecrow.  The adventures and revelations  that follow are worthy of Dorothy and the original story.
