When Scraps, the sassy Patchwork Girl, is brought to life by Dr. Pipt’s magic Powder of Life, the excitement begins. The young boy Ojo, accompanied by Scraps, Bungle the Glass Cat, and a peculiar creature called the Woozy, must quest through Oz to find the strange ingredients to brew a magic liquid that will release his Unk Nunkie from a spell which has turned him into a marble statue.
