PLOT:
Biography depicts how L. Frank Baum came to create "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" while undergoing and eventually overcoming professional and personal failures. His life story is interspersed with the famous Oz story, shown at certain points when Baum is writing down his ideas. It is shown that he was originally telling this to a group of kids, who asked him the name of this location, to which he looks at a file cabinet with the bottom drawer marked O-Z and decided "Oz". Another idea he had thought of was to say Dorothy was born in the Dakota Territory, only to scrap that sentence in favor of Kansas.
