Her prayers are answered in the form of her Fairy Godmother, who turns up to save her and conjures her from serving girl to princess, in time for the ball. There's only one condition, she must be home before midnight, otherwise she will face the consequences.

But when she leaves her glass slipper, she is sought by the Prince, who will stop at nothing to find the mysterious Cinderella...
