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.
