On the way, they find a Scarecrow, whom Didi calls Clowbrush (clown+brush), besieged by vultures reminiscent of the crows in _Wiz, The (1978/I)_. They kill and eat the vultures and take the brainless Scarecrow with them, hoping a doctor at Oróz will put them in.

In the town of Oróz, Sheriff Lion works for Colonel Ferreira, who owns a pond using gigantic frogs to keep people from obtaining water without paying. Lion's girlfriend, Aninha the schoolmaster, thinks he is a coward for not standing up to the Colonel. The Tramps, with Vat and Clowbrush, arrive and promptly rob a bakery. Sheriff Lion puts Soró and Tatu in jail, while to redeem himself, he is ordered to supervise Didi, Vat, and Clowbrush in a search for water, which is their punishment. After disguising themselves as Ferreira's guards, they are nonetheless discovered, so they flee to a desert, where a saint points them to the Wizard of Oróz, who fiendishly supports their mission - The film, while a spoof of a famous story, was also intended to make people aware of the conditions in the Northeast, which Aragão said he could not show in any greater detail, lest the film be terrified by the reality of the plight in that area.

This is the third CBS Copperfield TV special, introduced by the host Jack Klugman, and is the first one to be numbered. In fact it is officially titled "The Magic Of DAVID COPPERFIELD III", even if it is better known as "The Magic of David Copperfield III: Levitating Ferrari", in which "Levitating Ferrari" is a reference to the second illusion, given that never before an illusionist has been able to levitate (and then vanish in midair) an object as big and heavy as a 60.000 $ Ferrari. So, the illusions performed are: "Appearing Car Keys", "Floating Ferrari", "The Couple", "Ring Finger", "Broken Heart", "Art Gallery" (aka "Linking Rings"), "Shimada Parasol Act" (performed by Haruo Shimada), "Record Album Prediction" (aka "Record Albums") and "David's Fable" (aka "The Fable"). In the opening titles 6 stars are accredited and in the last illusion a duck appears for the first time, and Copperfield often will ripropose it in future illusions, revealing also the name, not yet known to the audience.

Bob Hope is the host of this comedy special that features sketches that spoof the Fall 1982 TV season.
