Betty Boop in Cinderella is a Duracolor animated film featuring Betty Boop in which she plays the role of Cinderella. Betty is forced into servitude by the her stepmother, and is made to work day and night doing chores. After Betty's chores are done for the day, she curls up near the fireplace in an effort to stay warm.
The Prince invites all the young ladies in the land to a royal ball, planning to choose a wife. The stepmother and the two stepsisters plan their wardrobes for the ball, and taunt Betty by telling her that she must stay home.
As the sisters depart to the ball, Betty cries in despair. Her Fairy Godmother magically appears and zaps Betty with her magic wand, turning Betty's rags into a beautiful golden gown, complete with a delicate pair of glass slippers. She then turns a pumpkin into a golden carriage, mice into horses, a rat into a coachman, and lizards into footmen.
She tells Betty to enjoy the ball, but warns her that she must return before midnight, when the spells will be broken. As soon as Betty enters the royal ball, the Prince automatically thinks that she is a princess and asks her to dance with him.
Enchanted by him she loses track of time and leaves only at the final stroke of midnight, losing one of her glass slippers on the sidewalk in her haste.
The Prince chases her, but loses her outside the palace and pockets the slipper. He then vows to find and marry the girl to whom it belongs. The Prince tries the slipper on all the women in the kingdom, but when the Prince arrives at Betty's home, the stepmother and stepsisters try in vain to win him over.
Betty asks if she may try and naturally, the slipper fits perfectly. The Prince escorts Betty out of the home, in which she was made servant, and they live happily ever after.
