Cinderella meets Les Miserable (that's if Cinderella was a dude, and Jean Valjean was a young woman). There is great unrest on the island-nation of Fiaba, which just happens to be the Italian word for fairy tale. After successful revolutions in America and France, citizens on the poor side of the island demand change. In an attempt to subdue the revolt, the king offers the princess's hand in marriage to a commoner. It is just a public relations scheme to placate the poor.

Young Cinderella is desperate to go to the handsome prince's ball...and she's delighted when Fenella the fairy offers to help her. Unfortunately, though, Fenella hasn't really got the hang of her magic wand yet. Can Cinderella dance with the prince without tripping over her glass...flippers? And can she leave before midnight, when she'll turn into a ten-ton Cinder-Elephant?
