One day, a hurricane caused by the evil sorceress Gingham picks up the van containing Ellie and Toto and brings it to the Magic Land, where wizards, talking animals and other unusual creatures live. The wagon falls right on Gingham and the sorceress dies.

The heroes ended up on the shore of the lake, through which they crossed with the help of a raft. However, Strashila hung on a pole, in addition, a storm arose and instantly carried everyone ashore. Barely alive, the heroes meet the Cowardly Lion, who allegedly attacked Totoshka. The hostess keeps Totoshka away from the Lion, saying that he is cowardly. Having told the reason, the lion burst into tears, declaring that he wanted to become bold.

The guards of the Emerald City, seeing Ellie in silver shoes for the first time, decide that a fairy has come to them, and allow her and her friends to Goodwin. The Great and Terrible wizard appears before them in different guises and announces that he will fulfill all their desires when the friends defeat the evil sorceress Bastinda, who sends Flying Monkeys to the Emerald City, who cover the flowers with sand.

Ellie, Strashila, Zheleznyy Drovosek, the Lion and Totoshka set off again and come to the Purple Country, where for some reason the wells are covered with sand. The stupid Wolf, Bastinda's servant, says that the mistress does not like water: if you splash it on her, she will melt. Strashila offers to go to Bastinda's castle, taking water.

Ellie finds a wonderful Golden Hat in the castle and becomes the mistress of the Flying Monkeys: they transfer the girl and her friends back to the Emerald City. There, Goodwin's secret is revealed: the imaginary magician turns out to be an ordinary artist.

Time passes. Ellie's uncle, the old sailor Charlie, is staying at Ellie's house. Crow Kaggi-Karr brings a letter from Strashila, from which Ellie learns that her friends are in trouble. It turns out that the eagle owl, who used to serve Gingham, brought a chest with the life-giving powder of his former mistress to the gloomy and power-hungry carpenter Oorfene Deuce.
