Snow White is a beautiful princess. When his first wife dies, Snow White's father remarries, seeing his daughter's need for maternal affection. When the king dies, the stepmother reveals her true identity. She forces the young princess to do the worst jobs. The Queen, sensing that one day the young girl's beauty will surpass her own, orders her gamekeeper to kill her. Not having the courage to carry out the Queen's fateful directive, he abandons Snow White in the forest and offers the Queen the heart of a doe as proof of his crime. After a long walk, the princess falls over from exhaustion. The forest animals take her to the home of the Seven Dwarfs. When she wakes up, she meets Prof, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Shy and Sneezy. But the Evil Queen's Magic Mirror reveals Snow White's presence in the forest. Furious, she drinks a potion that turns her into a wicked witch, and takes advantage of the Seven Dwarfs' absence to convince the young ingenue to bite into a poisoned apple. Surprised and pursued by the Seven Dwarfs, the wicked Queen falls into a ravine. But it's already too late: Snow White falls into a deep sleep. Her seven little friends decide to lay their princess to rest in a glass coffin. A Prince, dazzled by the beauty of the sleeping princess, places a tender kiss on her lips. Snow White opens her eyes and discovers "her" Prince.
