After Robin lands the part of Beauty in a production of "Beauty and the Beast," the young ballerina discovers she's been cast in the role both onstage and off when she starts working for beastly storeowner Mr. Cao. In this sequel to Ribbons and The Cook's Family, Yep never pushes the analogy too far, and he balances heartbreaking scenes with humorous ones.
