The story starts quietly with Trot and Cap’n Bill rowing along the Pacific shore, when suddenly, a mighty whirlpool engulfs them. The old sailorman and the little girl are miraculously saved and regain consciousness to find themselves in a sea cavern. Then, one perilous adventure crowds in upon another. Cap’n Bill and Trot journey to Oz and, with the help of the Scarecrow, the former ruler of Oz, overthrow the villainous King Krewl of Jinxland.
This was purportedly Baum’s personal favorite Oz book.
