Written by Noel Langley, Florence Ryerson, Edgar Allen Woolf
Following the death of the Wicked Witch of the East, her sister arrives in Munchkinland to claim the powerful ruby slippers and seek vengeance.

The scene establishes the primary conflict of the story as the Witch issues her iconic threat against Dorothy and her dog.
DOROTHY: I thought you said she was dead.
GLINDA: That was her sister -- the Wicked Witch of the East. This is the Wicked Witch of the West. And she's worse than the other one was.
WITCH: Who killed my sister? Who killed the Witch of the East? Was it you? Answer me!
GLINDA: Leave her alone!
WITCH: You stay out of this! I'm here for vengeance! So it was you, was it? You killed her, didn't you?
DOROTHY: No -- No! It was an accident! I didn't mean to kill anybody!
