In this reworking of Cinderella, orphaned Connie Harding is sent to live with her rich aunt and uncle after graduating from boarding school. She's hardly received with open arms, especially by her snobby cousin Barbara. When the entire family is invited to a major social ball, Barbara sees to it that Connie is forced to stay home. With the aid of her uncle, who acts as her fairy godfather, Connie makes it to the ball and meets her Prince Charming in Ted Drake, her cousin's boyfriend.

Connie è una ragazza orfana, ma dotata di una voce meravigliosa. Adottata dal ramo ricco della famiglia e maltrattata dalle "sorellastre", riesce a partecipare alla festa data dal ricco Ted, che si innamora di lei, affascinato dal suo canto.

После окончания школы-интерната сирота Конни попадает в дом своих богатых, но очень неприветливых родственников.

Так начинается история современной американской «Золушки», которая, как и положено, закончится счастливым концом и встречей героини с настоящим принцем.
