Stumptown was a town in the United States of America. Notta Bit More's circus performed there in the early 1920s, and More demonstrated a new magic act he had learned, for an audience of orphans. Shockingly, the magic spell which More used was genuine, and transported More and his audience volunteer Bobby Downs to the Marvelous Land of Oz. (The Cowardly Lion of Oz)
