In this 1950’s instructional film, the social conformity of gender roles in society are explicitly laid down through one of the more imaginative Cinderella versions ever producedIn Lawrence, Kansas, young Cindy, a tom-girl who plays basketball and fishes all day, wonders why she is not invited to her friend’s party like all her other classmates Since this sort of nonconformist behavior was frowned upon in the fifties, Cindy goes to sleep and has a most peculiar dream Cinderella's fairy godmother appears to her, telling her that they are indeed going to a party! The kind woman spirits Cindy to a dream party, and teaches her how to politely play games she doesn’t like (and pretend she does like them), how to let boys win (even though she could win herself), and how to leave on time
