The travelers visit a city of foxes and a city of donkeys, whose leaders ask Dorothy to invite them to Princess Ozma's birthday party. They meet the Musicker and the Scoodlers and eventually, with the help of Johnny Dooit, cross the Deadly Desert into the Land of Oz. There they participate in a large celebration of Princess Ozma's birthday, attended by a large cast of characters, some from Baum's other fantasy works unrelated to Oz.

* AgelessBirthdayEpisode: Much is made over Princess Ozma's birthday, stated to be August 21, but over the course of her enormous birthday party her age is never mentioned. This is likely because everyone in Oz is TheAgeless, and although she's described to look about 16 years of age we know she was a baby when the Wizard took the throne of the Emerald City, probably several decades before the first book.
