So, when the King invites everyone to a grand ball for the Prince to choose a wife, she must stay at home alone. If only Cinderella could go to the ball too, but she has nothing to wear. Just then, her Fairy Godmother appears and grants her wish ... in a beautiful new gown and glass slippers, Cinderella can go to the ball! But she must be back by midnight. Will Cinderella dance with the handsome prince, and what will happen when the clock strikes twelve?
