In the dead of night in a little Minnesota town, a car parks in front of a small house, a relic of the early 20th century.

The following morning, a horrified woman scrambles into the house to investigate the broken glass. She is immediately faced with an empty pillar and a lone red sequin. The Ruby Slippers have been stolen.

On the sweltering afternoon of August 22, 1972, three sharply dressed men entered a Chase Manhattan Bank branch in Brooklyn. They hand the teller a note plagiarized from the movie they watched earlier that day, and reveal their shotguns.
