Trouble In Oz - Film Overview


It all begins in "Big City" where there are bad people pushing drugs, alcohol & tobacco to school age kids. The leader of this band of "pushers" is called "Morticia". Morticia is very ambitious and she wants to spread drugs, alcohol & tobacco use everywhere she can. Her ambition takes her so far as to wish she could even go "over the rainbow" to spread her wares. Well, her wish comes true and she and three of her pushers are zapped into the Land of Oz. Here the Scare crow, Lion and Tin Man are the rulers, but they are not a match for Morticia who names herself the "Witch of Everywhere". They must find a solution.
