Buddy and his mother live in hiding; she is a wanted sorceress - the practice of magic is illegal in Oz. Buddy can’t go too far from home, so his friends are the magical pieces of furniture. The whole house and the family occupying it move from place to place whenever danger is near and his mother says it is time to move. Soon though, they are found and Buddy’s mother is arrested, taken by Glinda to the Emerald City where she must stand trial for her crimes.

It is left to Buddy, then, to go and rescue her. The hatstand - named the Earl of Haberdashery - leads the way for Buddy and the entire house to find his mother, facing dangers like the terrible Bumblebeast with its dreadful sting.
