All was happy and well in White Kingdom until the sad day that the beautiful queen died leaving Snow White with only her royal nanny, and the King without a wife. Heldred, the beautiful yet wicked witch wastes no time in casting a spell on the king and they are married before barely a year had passed. Queen Heldred, whose meanness is only surpassed by her vanity, rules the land with an iron fist. All in the kingdom revere her and her two pathetic sidekicks bungle all of her dirty work.
We join the story as a dashing Prince, Peter of Palpitania, arrives in White Kingdom on his journey looking for a wife; all of the women swoon and court his affections. Even Queen Heldred wants him for herself, however much to her anger, it is Snow White who the prince immediately falls for and they announce their engagement. To make matter worse for the Queen her magic mirror tells her that she is no longer the fairest in the Kingdom, Snow White is. In a rage Heldred plots to kill Snow White who flees the Kingdom in fear of her life and without a chance to say goodbye. Snow White and her nanny are exhausted from walking for days, when seven strange friendly dwarfs rescue them and take them in. The evil queen discovers their hideout, poisons an apple and tricks Snow White into eating it – immediately sending her into a deep sleep. Fairy Cakes the pantomime fairy can lift the curse only if Prince Peter kisses her. The prince is heartbroken to see his dying bride-to-be as the dwarfs and her friends stay beside her.
Can the spell be lifted before Snow White's time runs out? Will Queen Heldred have won and become the fairest in the land? Will the wicked Queen be suitably dealt with along with her idiot sidekicks? Will all be well again in White Kingdom? Will King Put-upon make an honest woman of Nanny Bumptious Plumpkin? Will all live happily ever after?
