A young princess is placed under a sleeping curse by a wicked fairy after pricking her finger on a spindle. The curse can only be broken when the princess is awakened by true love's kiss. A king and queen find the princess, now an old woman, and adopt her as their own daughter. Years later, a prince arrives at the castle and falls in love with the princess, but she remains asleep until he kisses her, breaking the curse.
