A vain and wicked queen consults her magic mirror and learns that her stepdaughter, Snow White, is now "the fairest in all the land". At first, the queen sends her huntsman to kill Snow White, but he is unable to do so. Snow White escapes into the forest, where she discovers a cottage inhabited by seven dwarves. The Evil Queen's magic mirror tells her that Snow White is still alive. The Queen disguises herself as a peasant girl to poison Snow White herself.
