The King and Queen host a ball to find a fiancée for Prince Charles, who opposes the plan. Cinderella is barred from attending by her Stepmother but creates a dress with help from animal friends and enters using vegetables. Zarel coerces Charles into marrying his daughter Isabel by threatening to expose Charles’s secret adventures outside the castle. After overhearing a conversation between Charles and Alex, Cinderella protests the concept of arranged marriage without love. Her animal friends intervene to halt the event, leading Charles to ultimately decide that he wishes to marry for love rather than through political arrangement.
