Rinkitink in Oz
Synopsis
Rinkitink of Oz is a tale of high adventure beginning in the islands
of the Nonestic Ocean and eventually culminating in the darkness of the
Nome King's Caverns. Rinkitink is the fun-loving runaway king of his
eponomous land who accompanied by his beast of burden, a surly talking
goat named Bilbil, makes his way to the beautiful and peaceful island
of Pingaree.
His timing, however, is poor for soon after his
arrival the island is overrun by a marauding band of warriors who loot
and pillage the entire island and carry all its inhabitants off to
slavery on the twin islands of Regos and Coregos. Rinkitink, Bilbil,
and the young Prince of Pingaree, Inga, escape capture and with the the
help of three magic pearls they set out to rescue the Pingareeans and
Inga's father and mother, King Kitticut and Queen Garee.
After some successes and failures, they ultimately win the day and free all
the slaves on the islands. But not before the wicked King Gos and Queen
Cor escape with King Kitticut and Queen Garee as hostages.
The action then shifts to the Nome King's Caverns. Inga and Rinkitink join forces with Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz to once more confront the Nomes in the dramatic conclusion to this tale of high adventure in the remoter regions of Oz.
