Mystery of the Missing Parents

Wooden puppet children seek the help of detectives, Dorothy, blind Scarecrow, and his seeing eye dog, Toto, in finding their missing parents that were carved into self-lighting Greek god candlesticks. Their travels take them from Italy to the belly of the Whale Inn in New Bedford, England where an uproarious confrontation takes place with pirates of the Caribean.

 

After Dorothy and Toto returned to Kansas, Tin Woodman was left in charge of the Winkies in the castle of the Wicked Witch of the West after she was dissolved. One day, in the woods, Tin Wooden comes across a tree and hears voices in it. The voices explain they are a family by name of Cottonwood. Realizing the voices are parents and three children, a girl, and two boys, Tim Wooden decides to free them from the tree by chopping them into five logs. A cyclone scoops up the logs and carries them to Italy where a sculptor carves the children into wooden puppets and the parents into self-lightening Greek god candlesticks. When the parents go missing, the children seek the help of detectives, Dorothy, blind Scarecrow, and his seeing-eye dog, Toto, in finding their parents. Their travels take them from Italy to the belly of the Whale Inn in New Bedford, England. There they come across Lion and Tin Woodmen. What follows is an uproarious confrontation with pirates of the Caribbean in the belly of the wooden Whale Inn.
