Synopsis
While lost in the woods, the prince of Drowse Castle is shown an image of his bride-to-be, Cinderella, by Titania, the queen of the fairies. Cinderella, who is virtually a servant in the home of her father, the Baron Balderdash, and her stepmother, is not permitted to accompany her two stepsisters to the royal ball at which the prince must choose a bride. After the rest of the family leaves for the ball, however, Cinderella's fairy godmother appears and creates for Cinderella the clothes and livery necessary for her to attend the ball. Cinderella and the prince fall in love at first sight, but in accordance with the fairy godmother's instructions, Cinderella leaves the ball at midnight. Because she has left her glass slipper behind, the prince searches the countryside for the woman who can wear it, eventually finding his beloved at the Balderdash home. The prince and Cinderella are married.
