A young princess is placed under a sleeping curse by a wicked fairy. She falls into a deep sleep and can only be awakened by the kiss of her true love. A prince finds her and kisses her, breaking the curse. However, she does not awaken because he is not her true love. The curse is later broken when another man, who is not the prince, kisses her.
