Kind Cinderella, forced to wait hand and foot on her cruel stepsisters and stepmother, has almost forgotten that she, too, was once a lady with fine clothes and a soft bed in which to sleep. But when Cinderella is left at home on the night of the royal ball, her fairy godmother turns pumpkin into coach, mice into horses, lizards into coachmen, and Cinderella's rags into a beautiful ball gown. At the ball Cinderella captures the prince's heart, but she must flee before the stroke of midnight. Now the prince must find the true owner of the delicate glass slipper Cinderella has left behind.
