However, they still occupy the grounds of the city, and the palace is surrounded. However, the female soldiers are scared by the field mice and leave the city’s palace. When the party reaches the Emerald City, Jinjur and her soldiers imprison the group and lock them away. The Queen of the field mice allows the Scarecrow to take twelve mice concealed in his straw. They are joined by the “Highly Magnified and Thoroughly Educated” Woggle-Bug, and aided by the loyal field mice and their Mouse Queen. On their way back, they are diverted by the magic of Mombi (whom Jinjur recruited to help her apprehend them). The companions arrive at the tin castle of the Tin Woodman (who now rules the Winkie Kingdom following the Wicked Witch of the West’s demise in the first book) and plan to retake the Emerald City with his help. Tip joins Jack and the Scarecrow in the palace, and they escape on the Sawhorse’s back.
Jinjur and her crew invade the Emerald City, terrorize the citizens, and loot the city, causing great havoc and chaos. Meanwhile, Jack and the Sawhorse arrive at the Emerald City and make the acquaintance of His Majesty the Scarecrow. Walking alone, he meets General Jinjur’s all-girl Army of Revolt, which is planning to overthrow the Scarecrow (who has ruled the Emerald City since the end of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz). The Sawhorse runs so quickly that Tip is left behind. He uses it to animate the wooden Sawhorse for Jack to ride. To avoid being turned into a marble statue, Tip runs away with Jack that very same night and steals the Powder of Life. Mombi tells Tip that she intends to transform him into a marble statue to punish him for his mischievous ways. To Tip’s dismay, Mombi is not fooled by this trick, and she takes this opportunity to demonstrate the new magical “Powder of Life” that she had just obtained from another sorcerer. As Mombi is returning home one day, Tip plans to get revenge and frighten her with a wooden man he has made, with a large Jack-o’-lantern he carves for a head, thus naming him Jack Pumpkinhead. Mombi has always been extremely mean and abusive to Tip. For as long as he can remember, Tip has been under the guardianship of a cruel Wicked Witch named Mombi and lives in the northern quadrant of Oz called Gillikin Country. The protagonist of the novel is an orphan boy called Tip. The events are set shortly after the events in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and after Dorothy Gale’s departure back to Kansas.
