Plot Summary
The king of Euphrania despairs of ever seeing his son, Prince Edward, ever get married – the young Prince wants to marry for love, not for wealth or politics and is waiting until he meets the right woman. Though neither of them knows it yet, that woman is Cinderella – but she is living the live of a slave with her hideous step-sisters. But the intervention of Cinderella’s fairy godmother and the Prince’s plans to throw a ball to help find his future bride is about to change everything…
