Comment/Synopsis
When Dorothy turns 18 she discovers she is a princess of Oz but the current rules is out to syop her claiming her inheritance. This is a strange version of the Wizard of Oz story that is more a vehicle for the slapstick comedy of Larry Semon. Some of which works and of which does not. This is loosely based on the early stage musical version of the story, but the 1939 musical version is much batter. Worth a watch if you are interested in larry Semon's work or an early Oliver Hardy performance.
