The Wizard of Oz Alternate Ending

After the Wizard accidently flies off in his balloon, instead of being able to use the Ruby slippers Dorothy must perform 3 good acts to prove she is worthy of the power of the slippers and the title of the Witch of the West. As her first good act she returns to the Wicked Witch’s castle and frees the Winkies, the soldiers under control of the Wicked Witch. She then discovers the golden cap, the device used to control the flying monkeys with 3 wishes. From the monkeys she learns of the forest they originated from and of an evil spider, which has taken over the forest. She vows to rid the forest of the spider and the flying monkeys carry her and her friends there for her first wish.

After arriving at the forest the friends meet with some of the animals of the forest and learn that the spider has been prowling the forest lately, snatching up any helpless animals. The Cowardly Lion, with his newfound courage, vows to defeat the spider and take his rightful place as king of the jungle. The friends set off and soon discover the spider and quickly slay it, thus completing the 2^nd good act. The Lion stays in the forest to rule and protect those that live there. Using her second wish she calls on the monkeys to take her to the home of Glinda.

Upon arriving at Glinda’s home they are greeted by the witch and told they have completed two good deeds. For the final good act Dorothy uses her last wish to free the monkeys from the curse binding them to the wearer of the golden cap. Glinda acknowledges the good deed and tells Dorothy the spell that will send her home. After saying goodbye to the Scarecrow and Tin Woodsman she clicks her heels and is lifted off back home. The slippers carry her across the great desert and during the flight she loses them but returns home safely nonetheless.
