Another unique retelling of the Oz tale, this time as a stop-motion film noir in the format of a graphic novel. Dorothy ÒDotÓ OÕConnor, a down-on-her-luck chorus girl, takes the YellowTrail Express to meet the mysterious father she has never known, Winthorne Owen Zolarde. On the train, she befriends a young porter, Terry ÒTotesÓ Aberdeen; a very intellectual stage star, Stephen Hayes; a sensitive young waiter, Todd Silver, and a not-so-ruthless robber and stowaway, Lionel King. The four men soon become fast friends with DotÉbut will they be able to save her from the clutches of her wicked witch of a stepmother, Irene West, who wants her eliminated so that she can inherit her estranged husbandÕs fortune?
