Two years later, the Monster Squad, which was eradicating a Wendigo colony in old mines in the depths of Canada, is about to experience its most unusual adventure... and probably its last ! A Kansas native named Dorothy Gale crosses paths with the team as she seeks help to save her adopted country : the mythical magical world of Oz ! Indeed, a secret society, the Cult of the Cobra, after awakening a mythical monstrous warrior locked in a lost Egyptian city, the Scorpion King, plans to take possession of this magical country to extend the power of their leader, the seductive and terrifying Queen Lamian! The Monster Squad will therefore help the young woman, as well as her special friends, to prevent this threat from spreading to Earth, although we may wonder who represents the worst threat, the Cult of the Cobra or the Wicked Witch of the West, who seems to have been resurrected. In this unique world, which functions partly as a musical comedy, even for outsiders who come there, the Monster Squad is undoubtedly preparing to experience its last mission... as well as its most important!
