Belle lives in the village of Petit Pois with her mean older sisters, Chardonnay and Lambrini. Their impoverished mother, Madame Dolores Lilly Chantilly Tres Jolie (or Dolly Jolly), is keen to marry them off to rich husbands. The vain and egotistical JeanClaude and the spoiled but goodnatured Prince Louis both have their eye on Belle. Chardonnay and Lambrini want JeanClaude for themselves and continually try to outdo each other, to get him to notice them. Meanwhile, the evil Countess Cruella is obsessed with Prince Louis and, in a jealous rage, she turns him into a hideous beast. The girls Papa, lost in the mountains, is imprisoned by the angry Beast. Papas horse, Gigi, then leads Belle to the Beasts castle, where Belle offers to take her fathers place in the Beasts dungeon. Belles kindness calms the Beasts anger and he falls in love with her. Meanwhile, encouraged by Cruella, JeanClaude rallies a mob to storm the castle and kill the Beast. In the final confrontation, the Beast appears mortally wounded. JeanClaude believes he has proved himself worthy and that Belle will love him. Belle, however, realises she loves the Beast, and her kiss magically transforms him back into Prince Louis.
