They forbid Cinderella to go to the ball where the Prince (Stuart Damon) will choose his bride. The Fairy Godmother (Celeste Holm) appears and magically transforms Cinderella into the belle of the ball. Cinderella meets the Prince and captures his heart. But, the Fairy Godmother's magic will last only until midnight, and Cinderella must flee the ball. Will the Prince pursue her?
